Definitions
- This invention relates to novel multi-binding compounds which bind to cell membrane transporters and modulate their activity.
- the compounds of this invention comprise at least two ligands covalently connected by a linker or linkers, wherein the ligands in their monovalent (i.e. unlinked) state bind to and are capable of modulating the activity of one or more transporters.
- the manner of linking the ligands together is such that the multi-binding agents thus formed demonstrate a biologic and/or therapeutic effect related to membrane transport processes which is greater than that of the same number of unlinked ligands made available for binding to the transporter.
- the invention also relates to methods of using such compounds and to methods of preparing them.
- this invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and an effective amount of a compound of this invention.
- This invention is also directed to general synthetic methods for generating large libraries of diverse multimeric compounds capable of binding cell membrane transporters which multimeric compounds are candidates for possessing multibinding properties.
- the diverse multimeric compound libraries provided by this invention are synthesized by combining a linker or linkers with a ligand or ligands to provide for a library of multimeric compounds wherein the linker and ligand each have complementary functional groups permitting covalent linkage.
- the library of linkers is preferably selected to have diverse properties such as valency, linker length, linker geometry and rigidity, hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity, amphiphilicity, acidity, basicity, polarizability and polarization.
- the library of ligands is preferably selected to have diverse attachment points on the same ligand, different functional groups at the same site of otherwise the same ligand, and the like.
- Cellular membranes form a selective permeability barrier to ions and small molecules thereby maintaining intracellular concentrations that are compatible with and optimized for physiological processes.
- This permeability barrier is comprised of a lipid bilayer, which restricts the passage of polar, charged and hydrophilic molecules and ions, and of cell membrane transporters.
- Cell membrane transporters include proteinaceous structures that open in a controlled manner to allow selected ions to flow passively into or out of the cell (e.g., ion channels), and proteins that actively pump ions and molecules into or out of the cell against a concentration gradient (e.g., H + /K + ATPases, MDR efflux pumps, neurotransmitter transporters).
- Ion channels are formed by the association of integral membrane proteins into structures having a central hydrophilic pore. Channel pores allow ions to equilibrate across membranes in response to their electrochemical gradients and at rates that are diffusion-limited. Ion channels are characterized by their selectivity and gating properties. Selectivity refers to the rate at which different ion species pass through an open channel under standard conditions. Gating is the process that regulates the opening and closing of an ion channel.
- voltage-regulated ion channels respond to changes in membrane potential; ligand-regulated channels respond to the binding of particular neurotransmitters (e.g., acetylcholine, glycine, GABA, 5-hydroxytryptamine, glutamate) or intracellular messengers (e.g., cyclic nucleotides, Ca ++ ); and mechanosensitive channels respond to mechanical deformation (e.g., stretch).
- neurotransmitters e.g., acetylcholine, glycine, GABA, 5-hydroxytryptamine, glutamate
- intracellular messengers e.g., cyclic nucleotides, Ca ++
- mechanosensitive channels respond to mechanical deformation (e.g., stretch).
- Ion channels exist in resting (closed), open or inactivated (i.e., desensitized) states. Voltage-gated ion channels in the open state typically transition to an inactivated state, and must reacquire the ability to respond
- Ion channels serve a variety of important cellular functions, including excitability, neuronal signalling, excitation- secretion coupling, volume regulation and so on. Ion channels are implicated in a variety of pathophysiological disorders, including hypertension, cardiac arrhythmogenesis, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, and seizures, and mediate the transmission of pain impulses by peripheral nerves. Defective ion channel proteins are responsible for a variety of heritable diseases (see, e.g., Ackerman & Clapham, Ion Channels-Basic Science and Clinical Disease , NEJM 336: 1575 (1997).
- the ABC transporters comprise a superfamily that shares a highly conserved ATP-binding cassette. See, e.g., Higgins, ABC Transporters: From Microorganisms to Man. Annu. Rev. Cell Biol. 8: 67-113 (1992) These transporters typically use ATP hydrolysis as a source of energy to pump diverse classes of molecules (e.g., sugars, peptides, inorganic ions, amino acids, oligopeptides, polysaccharides, proteins) across membranes against a concentration gradient. Each transporter is highly selective for a particular substrate and pumps unidirectionally . Some members of the ABC transporter family have ion channel activity.
- cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator a cAMP- and protein kinase A-regulated Cl ⁇ channel
- MDR P-glycoprotein
- ABC transporters function in nutrient uptake, protein export and drug resistance (e.g., erythromycin resistance in Staphylococcus, daunomycin resistance in Streptomyces, chloroquine resistance in Plasmodium, and multidrug resistance in cancers).
- Ion pumps are also involved in the active transport of ions across membranes.
- Ion pumps are members of the ion-transporting P-type ATPase family which couple ion transport to a cycle of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of an ATPase enzyme.
- this class includes the Ca ++ ATPases, the Na + /K + ATPases, and the H + /K + ATPases.
- the H + / K + ATPases are involved in acid secretion in the stomach and are clinically important targets in peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and gastric hyperacidity.
- GSD gastroesophageal reflux disease
- the Ca ++ and Na + /K + ATPases are therapeutic targets in the treatment of heart failure. See, e.g., Chapter 34, in: Goodman & Gilman's “ The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics ”, Ninth Edition,McGraw-Hill (1996).
- Another class of transporters belongs to the neurotransmitter transporter gene family.
- the proteins in this family are involved, inter alia, in the ion-dependent active uptake of amino acid (e.g., GABA) and amine neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine, dopamine and 5-HT) at presynaptic nerve terminals.
- the neurotransmitters are taken up into cells against a concentration gradient by coupling the transport to the flow of Na + and Cl ⁇ down their transmembrane gradients.
- These transporters are clinically important targets for drugs useful in treating anxiety and depression. See, e.g., Chapter 12, in: Goodman & Gilman's “ The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics ”, Ninth Edition,McGraw-Hill (1996).
- Cell membrane transporters are comprised of two or more homologous transmembrane protein domains/subunits which associate to form a translocation channel for ions and molecules.
- Cell membrane transporters are integral membrane proteins and thus are constrained in their rotational and translational mobility. They can be grouped into a small number of superfamilies on the basis of shared structural features (e.g., amino acid sequence homologies), may operate by similar molecular mechanisms, and in many cases may have a common evolutionary origin. Nevertheless, within a given superfamily there may be numerous subtypes with different tissue specificities resulting from combinations of different types and numbers of subunits.
- FIG. 1 illustrates in cross-sectional view the transmembrane domain/subunit organization of various transporter molecules, as it is presently understood by those working in the field of transport physiology. It should be understood that, for purposes of simplification, other subunits that may be involved in or required for transporter activity have been omitted from the diagram.
- voltage-gated ion channels and related proteins are tetrameric structures formed by the noncovalent association of individual subunits (1),(2), or by the interaction of homologous domains of a monomeric protein (3).
- the channels differ as well in the number of transmembrane segments per subunit or per domain.
- Inward-rectifier type K + channels and P 2X purinergic channels have two transmembrane-segments in each subunit, Shaker-type K + channels have six transmembrane segments per subunit and Na + and Ca ++ channels have six transmembrane segments per domain.
- Neurotransmitter-gated ion channels such as those shown in (4) are organized as pentamers, with each of the subunits having four transmembrane segments/domains.
- the ion pumps and transporters (not shown here) contain 10-12 transmembrane segments in various structural arrangements, including pseudodimers having two nonidentical homologous domains on a single protein, (e.g., MDR, CFTR) (Higgins, Annu. Rev. Cell Biol. 8: 67-113 (1992)) and dimers (e.g., H + /K + ATPase) (Hall et al, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1077: 173-179 (1991).
- ion transporters are involved in a wide variety of physiological activities, e.g., muscle contraction, cardiovascular function, renal function, neurotransmission, insulin secretion, immunomodulation and the like. See, e.g., Chapters 19, 35 and 37, In: Goodman & Gilman's “ The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics ”, Ninth Edition,McGraw-Hill (1996); Aidley & Stanfield, “ Ion Channels ”, Cambridge University Press (1996); Z. W. Hall, Chapter 3, in: “ An Introduction to Molecular Neurobiology ”, Sinauer Associates Inc. (1992); Cahalan and Chandy, Curr Opin in Biotech 8, 749 (1997).
- Membrane-associated transporters play an important role in a wide variety of pathologic conditions. In some instances, these are traceable to genetic alterations in the transporters (see, e.g., Ackerman and Clapham, NEJM 336: 1575-1586 (1997).
- one or more transporter activities may be involved in pathogenic mechanisms, e.g., Ca ++ , Na + and K + channels in cardiac arrhythmias (see, e.g., Task Force of the Working Group on Arrhythmias of the European Society of Cardiology, Circulation 84: 1831 (1991); H+pumps in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (see, e.g., Kahrilas, JAMA 276: 983-988 (1996)).
- GID gastroesophageal reflux disease
- molecular transporters contribute to drug resistance of pathogens and tumor cells (e.g., bacterial efflux pumps, Nikaido, Science 264: 382 (1994); mammalian MDR pumps; Gottesman & Pastan, Annu. Rev. Biochem. 62: 385 (1993)).
- cell membrane transporters are recognized as important targets for drug therapy.
- sodium channels are targeted by local anesthetics, certain antiarrhythmic drugs and anticonvulsants; potassium channels are targeted by certain antidiabetic, antihypertensive and antiarryhthmic drugs; calcium channels are targeted by certain antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic and antianginal drugs; ligand-gated Cl ⁇ channels (invertebrates) are targeted by certain antiparasitic drugs; the proton channel of the influenza virus is targeted by certain antiviral drugs; H + /K + -ATPase is targeted by drugs used in gastric acidity disorders and peptic ulcer disease; and monoamine transporters are targeted for the treatment of depression.

- Biological systems in general are controlled by molecular interactions between bioactive ligands and their receptors, in which the receptor “recognizes” a molecule or a portion thereof (i.e., a ligand domain) to produce a biological effect.
- the cellular transport of ions and molecules involves “recognition” and interaction of these substrates with specific membrane-associated transporters.
- diseases or conditions that involve, or are mediated by, cell membrane transporters can be treated with pharmacologically active ligands that interact with such transporters to initiate, modulate or abrogate transporter activity.
- the interaction of a cell membrane transporter and a ligand may be described in terms of “affinity” and “specificity”.
- the “affinity” and “specificity” of any given ligand-cell membrane transporter interaction is dependent upon the complementarity of molecular binding surfaces and the energetic costs of complexation (i.e., the net difference in free energy ⁇ G between bound and free states). Affinity may be quantified by the equilibrium constant of complex formation, the ratio of on/off rate constants, and/or by the free energy of complex formation. Specificity relates to the difference in binding affinity of a ligand for different receptors.
- the net free energy of interaction of a ligand with a cell membrane transporter is the difference between energetic gains (enthalpy gained through molecular complementarity and entropy gained through the hydrophobic effect) and energetic costs (enthalpy lost through decreased solvation and entropy lost through reduced translational, rotational and conformational degrees of freedom).
- the compounds of this invention are comprised of 2 to 10 ligands covalently linked together and capable of acting as multi-binding agents. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the surprising activity of these compounds is believed to arise at least in part from their ability to bind in a multivalent manner with the cell membrane transporter, which gives rise to a more favorable net free energy of binding.
- Multivalent binding interactions are characterized by the concurrent interaction of at least two ligands of a multi-binding compound with multiple ligand binding sites on a cell membrane transporter. Multivalent interactions differ from collections of individual monovalent interactions by being capable of providing enhanced biologic and/or therapeutic effect. Monovalent and multivalent binding is schematically illustrated in the diagram below. Multivalent binding can amplify binding affinities and differences in binding affinities, resulting in enhanced binding specificity as well as affinity.

- Such functional groups include, by way of example, mesyl, tosyl, azido and cyano groups.
- cell membrane transporter refers to a biomembrane-associated structure that is capable of transporting ions and/or molecules across a lipid membrane which is normally impermeant. Transporters include ion channels, molecular transporters and ion pumps. Examples of cell membrane transporters and ligands (drugs) that bind to them and disease conditions mediated thereby include those found in Tables 1 and 6, and in FIG. 1 (see Appendix).
- Ligand denotes a compound that is a binding partner for a receptor, such as a cell membrane transporter, and is bound thereto by complementarity.
- the specific region or regions of the ligand molecule that is recognized by the ligand binding site of a receptor is designated as the “ligand domain” .
- a ligand may be either capable of binding to a receptor by itself, or may require the presence of one or more non-ligand components for binding (e.g. Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ or a water molecule is required for the binding of a ligand to various receptors).
- ligands that target cell membrane transporters are shown in Table 1 (Appendix). For purposes of the present invention, however, it should be understood that portions of the ligand structure that are not essential for specific molecular recognition and binding activity may be varied substantially, replaced with unrelated structures and, in some cases, omitted entirely without affecting the binding interaction. It is further understood that the term ligands is not intended to be limited to compounds known to be useful as cell membrane transporter-binding compounds (e.g., known drugs). Those skilled in the art will understand that the term ligand can equally apply to a molecule that is not normally recognized for its transporter binding properties.
- a ligand as defined herein has a ligand domain, as defined above, which is available for binding to a recognition site on a cell membrane transporter.
- ligands that exhibit marginal activity or lack useful activity as monomers can be highly active as multibinding compounds, because of the biological benefit conferred by multivalency.
- Multi-binding agent or “multi-binding compound” refers to a compound that is capable of multivalency as defined below, and which has from 2 to 10 ligands covalently bound to one or more linkers which may be the same or different.
- the multi-binding agent provides a biologic and/or therapeutic effect greater than the aggregate of unlinked ligands equivalent thereto. That is to say, that the biologic and/or therapeutic effect of the ligands attached to the multi-binding compound is greater than that achieved by the same number of unlinked ligands made available for binding to the receptor or receptors.
- biological and/or therapeutic effect examples include increased ligand-receptor binding interactions (e.g., increased affinity; increased agonist, antagonist or modulatory effects; improved kinetics), increased selectivity for the target, increased potency, increased efficacy, decreased toxicity, optimized duration of action, improved bioavailability, improved pharmacokinetics, improved activity spectrum, increased therapeutic index, and the like.
- the multibinding compounds of this invention will exhibit at least one, and preferably more than one, of the above-mentioned effects.
- ligand binding site denotes a site on a receptor, such as a cell membrane transporter, that recognizes a ligand domain and provides a binding partner for the ligand.
- the ligand binding site may be defined by monomeric or multimeric structures. This interaction may be capable of producing a unique biological effect, for example agonism, antagonism, modulation, or may maintain an ongoing biological event, and the like.
- the ligand, the ligand domain and the ligand binding site cannot both be an antibody, an antibody domain or a fragment of an antibody.
- ligand binding sites of cell membrane transporters that participate in biological multivalent binding interactions are constrained to varying degrees by their intra- and intermolecular associations.
- ligand binding sites may be covalently joined in a single structure, noncovalently associated in one or more multimeric structures, embedded in a membrane or biopolymer matrix, and so on, and therefore have less translational and rotational freedom than if the same sites were present as monomers in solution.
- agonist refers to a ligand that when bound to a cell membrane transporter stimulates the functional activity of the transporter.
- antagonist refers to a ligand that when bound to a transporter inhibits the functional activity of the transporter.
- modulatory effect is intended to refer to the ability of a ligand to change the activity of a cell membrane transporter through binding to the transporter, regardless of whether the transporter is activated (or inhibited) by an endogenous ligand, or by the occurrence (or non-occurrence) of a physicochemical stimulus (e.g., a change in membrane potential or mechanical deformation in the case of certain classes of ion channels).
- a physicochemical stimulus e.g., a change in membrane potential or mechanical deformation in the case of certain classes of ion channels.
- “Potency” as used herein refers to the minimum concentration at which a ligand is able to achieve a desirable biological or therapeutic effect.
- the potency of a ligand is typically proportional to its affinity for its receptor. In some cases, the potency may be non-linearly correlated with its affinity.
- the dose-response curve of each is determined under identical test conditions (e.g. in an in vitro or in vivo assay, in an appropriate animal model (such as a human patient)). The finding that the multi-binding agent produces an equivalent biologic or therapeutic effect at a lower concentration than the aggregate unlinked ligand (e.g. on a per weight, per mole or per ligand basis) is indicative of enhanced potency.
- Univalency refers to a single binding interaction between one ligand with one ligand binding site as defined herein. It should be noted that a compound having multiple copies of a ligand (or ligands) exhibits univalency when only one ligand of that compound interacts with a ligand binding site. Examples of univalent interactions are depicted below.
- Multivalency refers to the concurrent binding of from 2 to 10 linked ligands (which may be the same or different) and two or more corresponding ligand binding sites, which may be the same or different. For example, two ligands connected by a linker that bind concurrently to two ligand binding sites would be considered bivalent; three concurrently binding ligands thus connected would be trivalent.
- “Selectivity” or “specificity” is a measure of the binding preferences of a ligand for different receptors.
- the selectivity of a ligand with respect to its target receptor relative to another receptor is given by the ratio of the respective values of K d (i.e., the dissociation constants for each ligand-receptor complex) or, in cases where a biological effect is observed below the K d , the ratio of the respective EC 50 s (i.e., the concentrations that produce 50 % of the maximum response for the ligand interacting with the two distinct receptors).
- treatment refers to any treatment of a disease or condition in a mammal, particularly a human, or an avian, and includes:
- disease or condition which is modulated by treatment with a ligand covers all disease states and/or conditions (e.g., pain, nausea, resistance to respiratory airflow) that are generally acknowledged in the art to be usefully treated with a ligand for a cell membrane transporter in general, and those disease states and/or conditions that have been found to be usefully treated by a specific multi-binding compound of our invention, i.e., the compounds of Formula I.
- Such disease states include, by way of example only, hypertension, cardiac arrythmias, myocardial ischemia, Liddle syndrome, insulinoma, cystic fibrosis, myopathies, seizures, neuropathic pain, anxiety, gastric acidity, achalasia, influenza, parasitic diseases, and the like.
- therapeutically effective amount refers to that amount of multi-binding compound that is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined above, when administered to a mammal or avian in need of such treatment.
- the therapeutically effective amount will vary depending upon the subject and disease condition being treated, the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration and the like, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art.
- pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is intended to include vehicles and carriers capable of being coadministered with a multi-binding compound to facilitate the performance of its intended function.
- vehicles and carriers capable of being coadministered with a multi-binding compound to facilitate the performance of its intended function.
- the use of such media for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art.
- vehicles and carriers include solutions, solvents, dispersion media, delay agents, emulsions and the like. Any other conventional carrier suitable for use with the multi-binding compounds also falls within the scope of the present invention.
- linker refers to a group or groups that covalently links from 2 to 10 ligands (as defined above) in a manner that provides for a compound capable of multivalency when in the presence of a cell membrane transporter having 2 or more ligand binding sites.
- the linker is a ligand-orienting entity that permits attachment of multiple copies of a ligand (which may be the same or different) thereto. It may be chiral or achiral. In some cases, the linker may itself be biologically active.
- linker does not, however, cover solid inert supports such as beads, glass particles, rods, and the like, but it is to be understood that the multi-binding compounds of this invention can be attached to a solid support if desired, for example, for use in separation and purification processes and for similar applications.
- linker The extent to which multivalent binding is realized depends upon the efficiency with which the linker or linkers that joins the ligands presents them to their array of ligand binding sites. Beyond presenting these ligands for multivalent interactions with ligand binding sites, the linker spatially constrains these interactions to occur within dimensions defined by the linker.
- structural features of the linker valency, geometry, orientation, size, flexibility, chemical composition
- the linkers used in this invention are selected to allow multivalent binding of ligands to any desired ligand binding sites of a cell membrane transporter, whether such sites are located interiorly (e.g., within a channel/translocation pore), both interiorly and on the periphery of a transporter, at the boundary region between the lipid bilayer and the transporter, or at any intermediate position thereof.
- the distance between the nearest neighboring ligand domains is preferably in the range of about 2 ⁇ to about 100 ⁇ , more preferably in the range of about 2 ⁇ to about 50 ⁇ and even more preferably about 3-15 ⁇ .
- the ligands are covalently attached to the linker or linkers using conventional chemical techniques.
- the reaction chemistries resulting in such linkage are well known in the art and involve the use of reactive functional groups present on the linker and ligand.
- the reactive functional groups on the linker are selected relative to the functional groups available on the ligand for binding or which can be introduced onto the ligand for binding. Again, such reactive functional groups are well known in the art.
- reaction between a carboxylic acid of either the linker or the ligand and a primary or secondary amine of the ligand or the linker in the presence of suitable well-known activating agents results in formation of an amide bond covalently linking the ligand to the linker; reaction between an amine group of either the linker or the ligand and a sulfonyl halide of the ligand or the linker results in formation of a sulfonamide bond covalently linking the ligand to the linker; and reaction between an alcohol or phenol group of either the linker or the ligand and an alkyl or aryl halide of the ligand or the linker results in formation of an ether bond covalently linking the ligand to the linker.
- Table 2 (Appendix) illustrates numerous reactive functional groups and the resulting bonds formed by reaction therebetween. Where functional groups are lacking, they can be created by suitable chemistries that are described in standard organic chemistry texts such as J. March, “Advanced Organic Chemistry”, 4 th Edition , (Wiley-Interscience (New York), 1992.
- the linker is attached to the ligand at a position that retains ligand domain-receptor binding and specifically permits the ligand domain of the ligand to orient itself to bind to the ligand binding site.
- the determination of where acceptable substitutions can be made on a ligand is typically based on prior knowledge of structure-activity relationships of the ligand and/or congeners and/or structural information about ligand-receptor complexes (e.g., X-ray crystallography, NMR, and the like). Such positions and synthetic protocols for linkage are well known in the art and can be determined by those with ordinary skill in the art.
- linker-ligand conjugate may be tested for retention of activity in a relevant assay system (see Specific Embodiments and Table 3 (Appendix) for representative assays).
- linker embraces everything that is not considered to be part of the ligand, e.g., ancillary groups such as solubilizing groups, lipophilic groups, groups that alter pharmacodynamics or pharmacokinetics, groups that modify the diffusability of the multi-binding compound, groups that attach the ligand to the linker, groups that aid the ligand-orienting function of the linker, for example, by imparting flexibility or rigidity to the linker as a whole, or to a portion thereof, and so on.
- ancillary groups such as solubilizing groups, lipophilic groups, groups that alter pharmacodynamics or pharmacokinetics, groups that modify the diffusability of the multi-binding compound, groups that attach the ligand to the linker, groups that aid the ligand-orienting function of the linker, for example, by imparting flexibility or rigidity to the linker as a whole, or to a portion thereof, and so on.
- the linker comprises a portion of the ligand, as is illustrated below for a bivalent lidocaine compound of Formula I.
- the N-ethyl groups of a lidocaine molecule that comprise the linker on the left side of the structure are highlighted in bold.
- the multi-binding agent is a bivalent compound, i.e., two ligands which are covalently linked to linker X, or a trivalent compound, i.e., three ligands which are covalently linked to linker X.
- the linker or linkers when covalently attached to multiple copies of the ligands, provides a biocompatible, substantially non-immunogenic multi-binding compound.
- the biological activity of the multi-binding compound is highly sensitive to the geometry, composition, size, flexibility or rigidity, the presence or absence of anionic or cationic charge, the relative hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, and similar properties of the linker. Accordingly, the linker is preferably chosen to maximize the biological activity of the multi-binding compound.
- the linker may be biologically “neutral,” i.e., not itself contribute any biological activity to the multi-binding compound, or it may be chosen to enhance the biological activity of the compound.
- the linker may be chosen from any organic molecule construct that orients two or more ligands to the receptors to permit multivalency.
- the linker can be considered as a “framework” on which the ligands are arranged in order to bring about the desired ligand-orienting result, and thus produce a multi-binding compound.
- different orientations of ligands can be achieved by varying the geometry of the framework (linker) by use of mono- or polycyclic groups, such as aryl and/or heteroaryl groups, or structures incorporating one or more carbon-carbon multiple bonds (alkenyl, alkenylene, alkynyl or alkynylene groups).
- mono- or polycyclic groups such as aryl and/or heteroaryl groups, or structures incorporating one or more carbon-carbon multiple bonds (alkenyl, alkenylene, alkynyl or alkynylene groups.
- rigid cyclic groups e.g., aryl, heteroaryl
- non-rigid cyclic groups e.g., cycloalkyl or crown groups
- linker As well as the presence or absence of charged moieties can readily be controlled by the skilled artisan.
- hydrophobic nature of a linker derived from hexamethylene diamine (H 2 N(CH 2 ) 6 NH 2 ) or related polyamines can be modified to be substantially more hydrophilic by replacing the alkylene group with a poly(oxyalkylene) group such as found in the commercially available “Jeffamines” (class of surfactants).
- Different frameworks can be designed to provide preferred orientations of the ligands.
- Such frameworks may be represented by using an array of dots (as shown below) wherein each dot is either an atom, chosen from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, or halogen, or the dot represents a point in space (i.e., an absence of an atom). Only certain atoms on the grid have the ability to act as an attachment point for the ligands, namely, C, O, N, S and P.
- the framework is illustrated as a two dimensional array in the following diagram, although clearly the framework is a three dimensional array in practice. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ . . . . 8 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ . . . . 7 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ . . . . . 8 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ . . . . 8 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ . . . . 7 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ . . . . . 8 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇
- Atoms can be connected to each other via bonds (single, double or triple bonds with acceptable resonance and tautomeric forms), with regard to the usual constraints of chemical bonding.
- Ligands may be attached to the framework via single, double or triple bonds (with chemically acceptable tautomeric and resonance forms).
- Multiple ligand groups (2 to 10) can be attached to the framework such that the minimal, shortest path distance between adjacent ligand groups does not exceed 100 atoms.
- the linker connections to the ligand is selected such that the maximum distance between two adjacent ligands is no more than 40 Angstroms ( ⁇ ).
- Nodes (1,2), (2,0), (4,4), (5,2), (4,0), (6,2), (7,4), (9,4), (10,2), (9,0), (7,0) all represent carbon atoms.
- Node (10,0) represents a chlorine atom. All other nodes (or dots) are points in space (i.e., represent an absence of atoms).
- Nodes (1,2) and (9,4) are attachment points.
- Hydrogen atoms are affixed to nodes (2,4), (4,4), (4,0), (2,0), (7,4), (10,2) and (7,0).
- FIG. 2 illustrates a useful strategy for determining an optimal framework display orientation for ligand domains and can be used for preparing the bivalent compounds of this invention.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a useful strategy for determining an optimal framework display orientation for ligand domains and can be used for preparing the bivalent compounds of this invention.
- Various alternative strategies known to those skilled in the art of molecular design can be substituted for the one described here. As shown in FIG.
- the ligands (shown as filled circles) are attached to a central core structure such as phenyldiacetylene (Panel A) or cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid (Panel B).
- the ligands are spaced apart from the core by an attaching moiety of variable lengths m and n. If the ligand possesses multiple attachment sites (see discussion below), the orientation of the ligand on the attaching moiety may be varied as well.
- the positions of the display vectors around the central core structures are varied, thereby generating a collection of compounds. Assay of each of the individual compounds of a collection generated as described will lead to a subset of compounds with the desired enhanced activities (e.g., potency, selectivity). The analysis of this subset using a technique such as Ensemble Molecular Dynamics will suggest a framework orientation that favors the properties desired.
- the process may require the use of multiple copies of the same central core structure or combinations of different types of display cores. It is to be noted that core structures other than those shown here can be used for determining the optimal framework display orientation of the ligands.
- core structures other than those shown here can be used for determining the optimal framework display orientation of the ligands.
- the above-described technique can be extended to trivalent compounds (FIG. 3) and compounds of higher-order valency.
- FIGS. 6 - 8 , 9 and 11 Examples of local anesthetic bivalent compounds are shown below and in FIGS. 6 - 8 , 9 and 11 (Appendix).
- FIG. 4 illustrates the variety of multiligand orientations that are obtained using different types of linkers. It can therefore be seen that there is a plethora of possibilities for the composition of a linker.
- a wide variety of linkers is commercially available (see, e.g., Chem Sources USA and Chem Sources International; the ACD electronic database; and Chemical Abstracts). Many of the linkers that are suitable for use in this invention fall into this category. Others can be readily synthesized by methods known in the art, and as described below.
- linkers include aliphatic moieties, aromatic moieties, steroidal moieties, peptides, and the like. Specific examples are peptides or polyamides, hydrocarbons, aromatics, heterocyclics, ethers, lipids, cationic or anionic groups, or a combination thereof.
- linker can be modified by the addition or insertion of ancillary groups into the linker, for example, to change the solubility of the multi-binding compound (in water, fats, lipids, biological fluids, etc.), hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, linker flexibility, antigenicity, stability, and the like.
- the introduction of one or more poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) groups onto the linker enhances the hydrophilicity and water solubility of the multi-binding compound, increases both molecular weight and molecular size and, depending on the nature of the unPEGylated linker, may increase the in vivo retention time. Further, PEG may decrease antigenicity and potentially enhances the overall rigidity of the linker.
- PEG poly(ethylene glycol)
- Ancillary groups that enhance the water solubility/hydrophilicity of the linker and, accordingly, the resulting multi-binding compounds are useful in practicing this invention.
- ancillary groups such as, for example, small repeating units of ethylene glycols, alcohols, polyols, (e.g., glycerin, glycerol propoxylate, saccharides, including mono-, oligosaccharides, etc.) carboxylates (e.g., small repeating units of glutamic acid, acrylic acid, etc.), amines (e.g., tetraethylenepentamine), and the like to enhance the water solubility and/or hydrophilicity of the multi-binding compounds of this invention.
- the ancillary group used to improve water solubility/hydrophilicity will be a polyether.
- the ancillary group will contain a small number of repeating ethylene oxide (—CH 2 CH 2 O—) units.
- lipophilic ancillary groups within the structure of the linker to enhance the lipophilicity and/or hydrophobicity of the compounds of Formula I is also within the scope of this invention.
- Lipophilic groups useful with the linkers of this invention include, but are not limited to, lower alkyl, aromatic groups and polycyclic aromatic groups.
- the aromatic groups may be either unsubstituted or substituted with other groups, but are at least substituted with a group which allows their covalent attachment to the linker.
- aromatic groups incorporates both aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic aromatics.
- Other lipophilic groups useful with the linkers of this invention include fatty acid derivatives which may or may not form micelles in aqueous medium and other specific lipophilic groups which modulate interactions between the multi-binding compound and biological membranes.
- lipid refers to any fatty acid derivative that is capable of forming a bilayer or micelle such that a hydrophobic portion of the lipid material orients toward the bilayer while a hydrophilic portion orients toward the aqueous phase. Hydrophilic characteristics derive from the presence of phosphato, carboxylic, sulfato, amino, sulfhydryl, nitro and other like groups well known in the art.
- Hydrophobicity could be conferred by the inclusion of groups that include, but are not limited to, long chain saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups of up to 20 carbon atoms and such groups substituted by one or more aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, and/or heterocyclic group(s).
- Preferred lipids are phosphoglycerides and sphingolipids, representative examples of which include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidic acid, palmitoyleoyl phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidyl-ethanolamine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, distearoylphosphatidylcholine and dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine.
- lipid Other compounds lacking phosphorous, such as sphingolipid and glycosphingolipid families, are also within the group designated as lipid. Additionally, the amphipathic lipids described above may be mixed with other lipids including triglycerides and sterols.
- the flexibility of the linker can be manipulated by the inclusion of ancillary groups which are bulky and/or rigid.
- ancillary groups which are bulky and/or rigid.
- the presence of bulky or rigid groups can hinder free rotation about bonds in the linker, or bonds between the linker and the ancillary group(s), or bonds between the linker and the functional groups.
- Rigid groups can include, for example, those groups whose conformational freedom is restrained by the presence of rings and/or ⁇ -bonds, for example, aryl, heteroaryl and heterocyclic groups.
- Other groups which can impart rigidity include polypeptide groups such as oligo- or polyproline chains.
- Rigidity can also be imparted electrostatically.
- the ancillary groups are either positively or negatively charged, the similarly charged ancillary groups will force the linker into a configuration affording the maximum distance between each of the like charges.
- the energetic cost of bringing the like-charged groups closer to each other, which is inversely related to the square of the distance between the groups, will tend to hold the linker in a configuration that maintains the separation between the like-charged ancillary groups.
- ancillary groups bearing opposite charges will tend to be attracted to their oppositely charged counterparts and potentially may enter into both inter- and intramolecular ionic bonds.
- Bulky groups can include, for example, large atoms, ions (e.g., iodine, sulfur, metal ions, etc.) or groups containing large atoms, polycyclic groups, including aromatic groups, non-aromatic groups and structures incorporating one or more carbon-carbon p-bonds (i.e., alkenes and alkynes). Bulky groups can also include oligomers and polymers which are branched- or straight-chain species. Species that are branched are expected to increase the rigidity of the structure more per unit molecular weight gain than are straight-chain species.
- rigidity is imparted by the presence of alicyclic (e.g., cycloalkyl), aromatic and heterocyclic groups. In other preferred embodiments, this comprises one or more six-membered rings. In still further preferred embodiments, the ring is an aryl group such as, for example, phenyl or naphthyl, or a macrocyclic ring such as, for example, a crown compound.
- Eliminating or reducing antigenicity of the multibinding compounds described herein is also within the scope of this invention.
- the antigenicity of a multi-binding compound may be eliminated or reduced by use of groups such as, for example, poly(ethylene glycol).
- the multi-binding compounds described herein comprise 2-10 ligands attached covalently to a linker that links the ligands in a manner that allows their multivalent binding to ligand binding sites of cell membrane transporters.
- the linker spatially constrains these interactions to occur within dimensions defined by the linker. This and other factors increases the biologic and/or therapeutic effect of the multi-binding compound as compared to the same number of ligands used in monobinding form.
- the compounds of this invention are preferably represented by the empirical formula (L) p (X) q where L, X, p and q are as defined above. This is intended to include the several ways in which the ligands can be linked together in order to achieve the objective of multivalency, and a more detailed explanation is provided below.

- Trivalent compounds may be prepared from bivalent compounds, for example by reacting the free carboxyl group of a bivalent compound of Formula I as prepared in Reaction Scheme 8 [C-N] with an appropriate linker, which is in turn reacted with a ligand, thus giving three ligands linked together (i.e. of the type L-X-L-X-L).
- the bivalent compound of Formula I as prepared in Reaction Scheme II could be reacted further with an appropriate linker and ligand to give a trivalent compound.
- reaction of three molecules of a ligand bearing a carboxyl group with one molecule of a cyclic linker such as 1,3,5-tris-(aminomethyl)benzene, yields a trimeric compound that is potentially trivalent.
- a cyclic linker such as 1,3,5-tris-(aminomethyl)benzene
- Tetravalent compounds may be prepared as shown above.
- An alternative configuration for a tetravalent compound would be obtained by dimerizing a bivalent compound by connecting two molecules of a bivalent compound via its linker. This could be represented as follows:
- L is a ligand that is the same or different at each occurrence
- X is a linker
- Y is a linker that is the same as X or different.
- Ligands having terminal amino groups may also be linked by reaction with aldehyde linkers to form a Schiff's base, which can be used as such as a linker or reduced to give a saturated linker.
- reaction with a disulfonyl halide would give a sulfonamide linker.
- Another alternative synthesis encompasses reaction of an amine with a diiminoester, which would afford an amidine linker.
- Ligands that include a free hydroxy group in their structure may be connected using those hydroxy groups as linkage points by means well known in the art.
- one synthetic strategy that could be used for linking ligands with free hydroxy groups involves treating the ligand with t-butyl bromoacetate in the presence of a suitable base (e.g. potassium carbonate, NaH) to convert the —OH group to an —O—CH 2 CO 2 -t-But group, which can be hydrolyzed to an O—CH 2 CO 2 H group using trifluoracetic acid.
- the oxyacetic group can then be used as the linking point for two ligands by making use of the linking strategies shown previously for carboxylic acids.
- Amiodarone is an example of a ligand that includes a hydroxy group suitable for this linking strategy.
- the ligand can then be linked directly by reaction with a diamine.
- the Mannich reaction can be used to link ligands that have an “active” hydrogen in their molecular structure.
- active hydrogens are hydrogens that are adjacent to an electron withdrawing group such as a ketone, aldehyde, acid or ester, nitrile, and nitro group, and the like.
- the Mannich reaction is well known to those skilled in the art, and many reviews in the chemical literature and textbooks on the Mannich reaction are available. Of particular value is that a linker could be constructed on a ligand having an aromatic moiety, providing there is an active hydrogen.
- other art-recognized chemistries can be used to provide ligands with suitable functional groups for attachment to a linker.
- ligands that inhibit the activity of sodium ion channels.
- these ligands are used for a variety of clinical conditions, for example: ligands such as lidocaine, bupivacaine, benzocaine, etidocaine, mepivacaine, prilocaine, ropivacaine, tetracaine, and the like have local anesthetic properties and are used for the treatment of pain, and for other types of applications, e.g., protection and recovery from ischemia (Lantos et al, Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. Ther. 331: 179 (1996), asthma (Hunt et al., Mayo Clin.
- ligands such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, lamotrigine and valproic acid are used to treat seizures; ligands such as disopyramide, procainamide, quinidine, lidocaine, mexiletine, phenytoin, tocainide, encainide, flecainide, and propafenone are used as antiarrhythmic drugs; and amiloride is used conjunctively with other drugs to improve mucociliary clearance in cystic fibrosis and as a diuretic.
- Local anesthetic compounds inhibit the neuronal voltage-gated Na + ion channels and thereby block conduction of pain impulses.
- local anesthetics with improved safety profiles (e.g., the CNS effects of current agents include restlessness, convulsions, myocardial toxicity, allergic reactions), improved selectivity for sensory vs. motor block, prolonged duration of action and greater potency (e.g., the principal disadvantage of existing agents for infiltration anesthesia is that the required tissue concentration is too high to provide anesthesia for large volumes of tissue).
- the duration of action of a local anesthetic is proportional to the time during which the anesthetic is in contact with the nerve, or, more precisely, the ion channel(s).
- the effect of currently used local anesthetics tends to be short-lived as a result of dissociation from and diffusion away from the intended site of action. Therefore, repeated doses or a slow-release formulation must be administered to achieve a prolonged effect.
- Undesired side effects of local anesthetics, such as those mentioned above, are largely a function of systemic concentrations of the drug resulting from such diffusion. Because of these serious side effects, the quantity of drug administered and its localization to non-systemic compartments must be carefully controlled.
- a multi-binding local anesthetic compound comprises from 2-10 ligands linked covalently for multivalency.
- One group of preferred ligands includes conventional local anesthetics such as those described above.
- Also included in this class of compounds are ligands that share common structural features with conventional local anesthetics such as those listed above, i.e., a benzene ring linked via an ester or amide linkage to an aliphatic group having a terminal tertiary or quaternary amine.
- the length of the linkage i.e. the distance between the benzene ring and the amine, is typically about 6-9 ⁇ .
- Preferred multi-binding local anesthetic compounds include at least two such local anesthetic-type binding groups.
- the modular, repeated tetrameric molecular structure of the sodium ion channel presents a plurality of cation binding sites.
- quaternary amines, guanidines and amidines are a second preferred class of binding group to be employed in a multi-binding local anesthetic compound.
- These positively charged amine moieties may comprise the terminal amine moiety of a local anesthetic-type binding group, or may be otherwise linked to a local anesthetic-type binding group, or to the linker framework (described further below) of the multi-binding local anesthetic compound.
- Also contemplated, in addition to tetraalkyl ammonium ions are other amine functionalities which are cationic at physiological pH, such as guanidines and amidines.
- a third type of preferred binding group is a lipophilic group such as a long chain alkyl group or an aromatic hydrocarbon.
- a lipophilic group such as a long chain alkyl group or an aromatic hydrocarbon.
- Such a group may be linked to the local anesthetic-type binding group, or it may comprise part of a quaternary alkyl amine, or it may be linked to the linker framework of the multi-binding local anesthetic.
- the ligands as described above, are linked together for multivalent binding interactions with ligand binding sites of a voltage-gated Na + ion channel.
- the multi-binding compound includes at least two local anesthetic-type binding groups, and preferably additional groups from the second and third classes described above.
- One type of preferred linker comprises a linear, branched or cyclic chain having from two to fifty, and preferably two to twenty-four, non-hydrogen atoms, where the bonds making up the chain are selected from alkyl (carbon-carbon), alkenyl (double bonded carbon-carbon), alkyl ether (carbon-oxygen), thioether (carbon-sulfur), alkyl amino (carbon-nitrogen) linkages, or a combination thereof.
- the chain may further include one or more groups selected from cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, heteroaryl, carbonyl, carboxy ester, carboxy amide, and sulfonyl, intervening between these bonds.
- the linker includes three to twelve atoms between amine moieties of the ligands, e.g. between the aliphatic amine groups of local anesthetic-type binding groups.
- the nitrogen atoms of one or more groups may form part of the linker, as discussed above and shown, for example, in FIGS. 6 - 11 , which illustrate differently substituted bivalent, trivalent and higher-order valency multi-binding compounds containing local anesthetic-type ligands.
- the ligands may be linked via a linear linker, as in, for example, those shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, or form a macrocyclic linker, as in certain crown compounds shown in FIGS. 9 - 11 .
- the linker may combine linear and cyclic structures, as also shown in FIG. 9.
- Local anesthetic-type ligands may be linked to the linker at different attachment points to achieve different orientations of the ligand domains, thereby to facilitate multivalency, as was discussed previously.
- Lidocaine is preferably linked via the aliphatic amine moieties, via substituents on the benzene ring, or via the carbon which is alpha to the amide carbonyl group.
- the lidocaine moieties may be linked to form various combinations of C—, N— and Aryl-linked bivalent compounds.
- the linker shown below is one of several classes of preferred linkers for local anesthetic-type compounds of this invention, as discussed previously. Other preferred linkers are exemplified in FIGS. 6 - 11 (Appendix).
- Linear linkers may include oligomers having side chains comprising local anesthetic-type binding groups. Any of these compounds may further include binding groups of the second and third classes, i.e. quaternary ammonium ions and/or lipophilic groups, as described above.
- the compounds may also include one or more chiral centers, such as exists in the monobinding local anesthetic bupivacaine, and may be optically active at such centers, such as the monobinding anesthetic ropivacaine.
- the centers may be present in the linker of the compound, or in the other types of binding groups, as well as in the local anesthetic-type ligand. Chirality may also be present in compounds lacking asymmetric atoms, e.g., in allene, biphenyl, spirane and helical compounds.
- the framework comprises ester linkages which are degradable by plasma esterases.
- the presence of such linkages limits the lifetime of the compound in systemic circulation, thereby reducing systemic toxicity.
- Such linkages may also be included in the binding groups themselves.
- Bivalent, trivalent and higher-order valency compounds can be prepared according to the general method shown in Reaction Scheme 14.
- the starting material is a bi-, tri- or multi-functional amine.
- a large variety of such amines is commercially available, or they may be prepared by synthetic methods well known in the art.
- linkers may incorporate alkylene, alkalkoxy, alkthioalkoxy, amine, carbonyl, ester, or amide linkages, and ring structures.
- the trivalent compound is isolated and purified by conventional means, preferably by precipitation and filtration. For preparation of compounds of higher-order valency, a similar procedure is followed, using an appropriate number of moles of halocompound.
- a local anesthetic-type ligand having a free amine is reacted with a framework precursor having multiple leaving groups.
- a framework precursor having multiple leaving groups In one example (Example 10 below), approximately two moles of 2′, 6′-dimethyl-2-piperidinecarboxanilide were reacted with an ⁇ , ⁇ -dibromide to produce a compound having the structure shown in FIG. 9 ( 1 ).
- N-methyl amines for example, can be conveniently prepared from primary amines by synthesizing the t-butoxycarbonyl derivative and reducing it with a hydride reducing agent such as LiAlH 4 (LAH). Reaction of the secondary amine with a substituted ⁇ -chloroacetamide, as above gives a multivalent compound having a tertiary amine linkage to the framework. This linkage may be quaternized by reaction with a suitable alkylating agent such as methyl iodide, as shown.
- a suitable alkylating agent such as methyl iodide
- Cyclic or macrocyclic compounds may be prepared from the corresponding cyclic polyamines. These amines include, e.g., piperazine (see, e.g., FIG. 9 ( 1 ) to larger structures such as 1,5,9-triazacyclododecane (see, e.g., FIG. 9 ( 2 ), 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen), 1,4,8,11 -tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam), 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaazacyclooctadecane (hexacyclen), and the like.
- the rings may also contain other linkages, such as ether linkages, as in e.g.
- Compounds having two or three local anesthetic-type binding groups attached to a single quaternary nitrogen on a framework can be formed by using a large excess of the ⁇ -chloroacetamide component. Such compounds are also typically formed in small quantities as byproducts of the standard alkylation reactions described above. Similarly, “underalkylated” compounds can be formed by using correspondingly less of the ⁇ -chloroacetamide component relative to the polyamine.
- Local anesthetic-type ligands linked via the aromatic ring may be prepared as shown in Reaction Scheme 16 and Example 11.
- a substituted phenol is nitrated and reacted with a bifunctional (or higher functionality) bromide, forming multiple ether linkages, as shown.
- the nitro groups are reduced, and the resulting amino groups are condensed with ⁇ -chloroacetyl chloride to form amide linkages.
- the aliphatic chlorine is then displaced by an amine, e.g. diethyl amine, to give the multi-binding compound.
- Local anesthetic-type ligands may be linked “head-to-tail” (N-Aryl) as shown in Reaction Scheme 17.
- degradable ester linkages When it is desired to incorporate degradable ester linkages into the multivalent compound, this may be accomplished by the use of a local anesthetic-type binding group having an ester rather than an amide linkage. Alternatively, one or more ester linkages may be incorporated into the linking framework (see, e.g., FIG. 7 ( 1 )).
- factors such as the proper juxtaposition of the individual ligands of a multibinding compound with respect to the relevant array of binding sites on a target or targets is important in optimizing the interaction of the multibinding compound with its target(s) and to maximize the biological advantage through multivalency.
- One approach is to identify a library of candidate multibinding compounds with properties spanning the multibinding parameters that are relevant for a particular target. These parameters include: (1) the identity of ligand(s), (2) the orientation of ligands, (3) the valency of the construct, (4) linker length, (5) linker geometry, (6) linker physical properties, and (7) linker chemical functional groups.
- a single ligand or set of ligands is (are) selected for incorporation into the libraries of candidate multibinding compounds which library is directed against a particular biological target or targets.
- the only requirement for the ligands chosen is that they are capable of interacting with the selected target(s).
- ligands may be known drugs, modified forms of known drugs, substructures of known drugs or substrates of modified forms of known drugs (which are competent to interact with the target), or other compounds.
- Ligands are preferably chosen based on known favorable properties that may be projected to be carried over to or amplified in multibinding forms. Favorable properties include demonstrated safety and efficacy in human patients, appropriate PK/ADME profiles, synthetic accessibility, and desirable physical properties such as solubility, logP, etc.
- ligands which display an unfavorable property from among the previous list may obtain a more favorable property through the process of multibinding compound formation; i.e., ligands should not necessarily be excluded on such a basis.
- a ligand that is not sufficiently potent at a particular target so as to be efficacious in a human patient may become highly potent and efficacious when presented in multibinding form.
- a ligand that is potent and efficacious but not of utility because of a non-mechanism-related toxic side effect may have increased therapeutic index (increased potency relative to toxicity) as a multibinding compound.
- Compounds that exhibit short in vivo half-lives may have extended half-lives as multibinding compounds.
- Physical properties of ligands that limit their usefulness e.g. poor bioavailability due to low solubility, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity
- each ligand at which to attach the ligand to the linker.
- the selected points on the ligand/linker for attachment are functionalized to contain complementary reactive functional groups. This permits probing the effects of presenting the ligands to their receptor(s) in multiple relative orientations, an important multibinding design parameter.
- the only requirement for choosing attachment points is that attaching to at least one of these points does not abrogate activity of the ligand.
- Such points for attachment can be identified by structural information when available. For example, inspection of a co-crystal structure of a protease inhibitor bound to its target allows one to identify one or more sites where linker attachment will not preclude the enzyme:inhibitor interaction.
- positions of attachment that do abrogate the activity of the monomeric ligand may also be advantageously included in candidate multibinding compounds in the library provided that such compounds bear at least one ligand attached in a manner which does not abrogate intrinsic activity. This selection derives from, for example, heterobivalent interactions within the context of a single target molecule.
- a receptor antagonist ligand bound to its target receptor and then consider modifying this ligand by attaching to it a second copy of the same ligand with a linker which allows the second ligand to interact with the same receptor molecule at sites proximal to the antagonist binding site, which include elements of the receptor that are not part of the formal antagonist binding site and/or elements of the matrix surrounding the receptor such as the membrane.
- the most favorable orientation for interaction of the second ligand molecule with the receptor/matrix may be achieved by attaching it to the linker at a position which abrogates activity of the ligand at the formal antagonist binding site.
- Another way to consider this is that the SAR of individual ligands within the context of a multibinding structure is often different from the SAR of those same ligands in momomeric form.
- the dimeric compound may achieve enhanced affinity for both receptors due to favorable interactions between the 5HT 4 ligand and elements of the M 3 receptor proximal to the formal M 3 antagonist binding site and between the M 3 ligand and elements of the 5HT 4 receptor proximal to the formal 5HT 4 antagonist binding site.
- the dimeric compound may be more potent and selective antagonist of overactive bladder and a superior therapy for urinary urge incontinence.
- Linkers Spanning Relevant Multibinding Parameters through Selection of Valency, Linker Length, Linker Geometry, Rigidity, Physical Properties, and Chemical Functional Groups
- Linker length Linkers are chosen in a range of lengths to allow the spanning of a range of inter-ligand distances that encompass the distance preferable for a given divalent interaction.
- the preferred distance can be estimated rather precisely from high-resolution structural information of targets, typically enzymes and soluble receptor targets.
- high-resolution structural information is not available (such as 7TM G-protein coupled receptors)
- preferred linker distances are 2-20 ⁇ , with more preferred linker distances of 3-12 ⁇ .
- preferred linker distances are 20-100 ⁇ , with more preferred distances of 30-70 ⁇ .
- Linker geometry and rigidity The combination of ligand attachment site, linker length, linker geometry, and linker rigidity determine the possible ways in which the ligands of candidate multibinding compounds may be displayed in three dimensions and thereby presented to their binding sites.
- Linker geometry and rigidity are nominally determined by chemical composition and bonding pattern, which may be controlled and are systematically varied as another spanning function in a multibinding array. For example, linker geometry is varied by attaching two ligands to the ortho, meta, and para positions of a benzene ring, or in cis- or trans- arrangements at the 1,1- vs. 1,2- vs. 1,3- vs.
- Linker rigidity is varied by controlling the number and relative energies of different conformational states possible for the linker.
- a divalent compound bearing two ligands joined by 1,8-octyl linker has many more degrees of freedom, and is therefore less rigid than a compound in which the two ligands are attached to the 4,4′ positions of a biphenyl linker.
- Linker physical properties The physical properties of linkers are nominally determined by the chemical constitution and bonding patterns of the linker, and linker physical properties impact the overall physical properties of the candidate multibinding compounds in which they are included.
- a range of linker compositions is typically selected to provide a range of physical properties (hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, amphiphilicity, polarization, acidity, and basicity) in the candidate multibinding compounds.
- the particular choice of linker physical properties is made within the context of the physical properties of the ligands they join and preferably the goal is to generate molecules with favorable PK/ADME properties.
- linkers can be selected to avoid those that are too hydrophilic or too hydrophobic to be readily absorbed and/or distributed in vivo.
- Linker chemical functional groups are selected to be compatible with the chemistry chosen to connect linkers to the ligands and to impart the range of physical properties sufficient to span initial examination of this parameter.
- an array generated from two ligands, one which has two attachment points (A1, A2) and one which has three attachment points (B1, B2, B3) joined in all possible combinations provide for at least 15 possible combinations of multibinding compounds: A1-A1 A1-A2 A1-B1 A1-B2 A1-B3 A2-A2 A2-B1 A2- B2 A2-B3 B1-B1 B1-B2 B1-B3 B2-B2 B2-B3 B3-B3
- combinatorial library Given the combinatorial nature of the library, common chemistries are preferably used to join the reactive functionalies on the ligands with complementary reactive functionalities on the linkers.
- the library therefore lends itself to efficient parallel synthetic methods.
- the combinatorial library can employ solid phase chemistries well known in the art wherein the ligand and/or linker is attached to a solid support.
- the combinatorial libary is prepared in the solution phase.
- candidate multibinding compounds are optionally purified before assaying for activity by, for example, chromatographic methods (e.g., HPLC).
- Various methods are used to characterize the properties and activities of the candidate multibinding compounds in the library to determine which compounds possess multibinding properties. Physical constants such as solubility under various solvent conditions and logD/clogD values can be determined. A combination of NMR spectroscopy and computational methods is used to determine low-energy conformations of the candidate multibinding compounds in fluid media. The ability of the members of the library to bind to the desired target and other targets is determined by various standard methods, which include radioligand displacement assays for receptor and ion channel targets, and kinetic inhibition analysis for many enzyme targets. In vitro efficacy, such as for receptor agonists and antagonists, ion channel blockers, and antimicrobial activity, can also be determined. Pharmacological data, including oral absorption, everted gut penetration, other pharmacokinetic parameters and efficacy data can be determined in appropriate models. In this way, key structure-activity relationships are obtained for multibinding design parameters which are then used to direct future work.
- the members of the library which exhibit multibinding properties can be readily determined by conventional methods. First those members which exhibit multibinding properties are identified by conventional methods as described above including conventional assays (both in vitro and in vivo).
- Second, ascertaining the structure of those compounds which exhibit multibinding properties can be accomplished via art recognized procedures.
- each member of the library can be encrypted or tagged with appropriate information allowing determination of the structure of relevant members at a later time. See, for example, Dower, et al., International Patent Application Publication No. WO 93/06121; Brenner, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 89:5181 (1992); Gallop, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,846,839; each of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- the structure of relevant multivalent compounds can also be determined from soluble and untagged libaries of candidate multivalent compounds by methods known in the art such as those described by Hindsgaul, et al., Canadian Patent Application No. 2,240,325 which was published on Jul. 11, 1998. Such methods couple frontal affinity chromatography with mass spectroscopy to determine both the structure and relative binding affinities of candidate multibinding compounds to receptors.
- an optional component of the process is to ascertain one or more promising multibinding “lead” compounds as defined by particular relative ligand orientations, linker lengths, linker geometries, etc. Additional libraries are generated around these leads to provide for further information regarding structure to activity relationships. These arrays typically bear more focused variations in linker structure to further optimize target affinity and/or activity at the target (antagonism, partial agonism, etc.), and/or alter physical properties.
- suitable divalent linkers include, by way of example only, those derived from dicarboxylic acids, disulfonylhalides, dialdehydes, diketones, dihalides, dipseudohalides, diisocyanates, diamines, diols, diboronates, mixtures of carboxylic acids, sulfonylhalides, aldehydes, ketones, halides, pseudohalides, isocyanates, amines, boronates, and alcohols.

- Local anesthetics can be tested for activity in various well-known assays (e.g.,. the batrachotoxin (BTX) displacement assay (McNeal et al, J. Med. Chem. 28: 381 (1985)), patch clamp method (see, generally, Neher and Sakmann, “The Patch Clamp Technique,” Scientific American pp. 44-51 (1992); Hamill et al, P Shegers Arch. 391: 85 (1981); intact isolated nerve assay, e.g., isolated frog sciatic nerve (see Example 13 described below); blockage of the cutaneous trunci muscle reflex (CTMR) in guinea pigs (Bulbring et al, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Therap.

- this class of drugs includes, for example, diphenyl hydantoin (Dilantin), and other related ligands with binding affinity for the sodium channel comparable to that of Dilantin.
- the preparation of multi-binding anticonvulsant compounds of this invention makes use of ligands such as the 5-pentyl-5-phenyl hydantoin shown in FIG. 5 ( 3 ). Positions that are potentially available for attachment of a linker include either of the imide nitrogens (i.e., (a) or (b)) and positions on the pentyl chain, as indicated by the arrows.

- these ligands are used for a variety of clinical conditions, for example: channel blocking ligands such as glipizide, glyburide and tolazamide are used for the treatment of diabetes; diazoxide and minoxidil are used as antihypertensive drugs; and amiodarone, clofilium, dofetilide and N-acetylprocainamide are used as antiarrythmic drugs.

- the channel openers act on ATP-gated potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle and decreate vascular tone. They are potentially useful as cardioprotective agents.
- the anti-arrhythmic potassium channel blockers of this invention are exemplified by amiodarone.
- Amiodarone is classified as a Class III anti-arrhythmic drug (i.e., a drug that prolongs the cardiac action potential duration).
- Amiodarone is an iodine-containing benzofuran derivative that is used in the treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias that are unresponsive to other types of anti-arrhythmic drugs. Amiodarone and analogs thereof can be used to prepare multi-binding anti-arrhythmic compounds of Formula I.
- the structure of amiodarone is given in FIG. 5 ( 1 ). Positions that are potentially available for attachment of a linker based on published SAR are indicated by the arrows.
- anti-arrhythmic potassium channel blockers of this invention is assessed by measuring potassium currents in cardiac myocytes using the patch clamp technique (see, e.g., Kamp et al, PflüArch. 391: 85 (1981)). In vivo anti-arrhythmic activity is measured by testing the ability of compounds to suppress symptoms in dogs with subacute myocardial infarctions or induced ventricular arrhythmia as described by Abdollah et al, J. Cardiovasc. Pharm. 15: 799 (1990)).

- At least two types of cardiac calcium channels have been identified, the L type (found in all cardiac tissues) and the T type (found in pacemaker tissues) (Pelzer et al, Rev. Physiol. Biochem. Pharmacol. 114: 107 (1990)).
- the ⁇ 1 subunits of L- and non-L type calcium channels are structurally homologous. Calcium channels are found also in vascular smooth muscle, adrenal chromaffin cells, other endocrine cells and the brain. These factors may contribute to the undesirable side effects of currently used calcium channel blockers (e.g., hypotension and arrhythmia). Thus there is a continuing clinical need for safer, more selective calcium channel blocking compounds.
- anti-hypertensive calcium channel blockers of this invention are exemplified by amlodipine (structure shown below).
- This drug is classified as a dihydropyridine-based calcium channel blocker.
- Amlodipine is dihydropyridine calcium antagonist with an 2-methoxyalkylamine group, which provides for its prolonged anti-hypertensive activity (Arrowsmith et al, J. Med. Chem. 29: 1696 (1986)).
- FIG. 5 ( 2 ) shows amlodipine with arrows pointing to positions that are potentially available for attachment of a linker.
- anti-arrhythmic calcium channel blockers of this invention is determined by assaying their vasorelaxant and antihypertensive properties. The concentration of a compound required to produce 50% vasorelaxation in KCl-contracted rabbit thoracic aorta strips in the presence of calcium is measured (Brittain et al, Physiologist 28: 325 (1985)). Anti-hypertensive activity is determined in male spontaneously hypertensive rats by measurement of mean arterial blood pressure (Rovnyak et al, J. Med. Chem. 35: 3254-3263 (1992)).

Abstract
Novel multi-binding compounds (agents) are disclosed which bind cell membrane transporters including ion channels, molecular transporters and ion pumps. The compounds of this invention comprise from 2 to 10 ligands each of which can bind to such cellular transporters to modulate the biological processes/functions thereof. Each of the ligands is covalently attached to a linker (framework) to provide for a multi-binding compound. The linker is selected such that the multi-binding compound exhibits increased modulation of the biological processes/functions of the transporter as compared to the aggregate of the individual ligand units made available for binding to the transporter.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Serial Nos. 60/088,465, filed Jun. 8, 1998, and 60/093,068, filed Jul. 16, 1998, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- This invention relates to novel multi-binding compounds which bind to cell membrane transporters and modulate their activity. The compounds of this invention comprise at least two ligands covalently connected by a linker or linkers, wherein the ligands in their monovalent (i.e. unlinked) state bind to and are capable of modulating the activity of one or more transporters. The manner of linking the ligands together is such that the multi-binding agents thus formed demonstrate a biologic and/or therapeutic effect related to membrane transport processes which is greater than that of the same number of unlinked ligands made available for binding to the transporter. The invention also relates to methods of using such compounds and to methods of preparing them.
- These multi-binding compounds are particularly useful in treating diseases and conditions of mammals and avians that are mediated by the cellular transporters targeted by the ligands. Accordingly, this invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and an effective amount of a compound of this invention.
- This invention is also directed to general synthetic methods for generating large libraries of diverse multimeric compounds capable of binding cell membrane transporters which multimeric compounds are candidates for possessing multibinding properties. The diverse multimeric compound libraries provided by this invention are synthesized by combining a linker or linkers with a ligand or ligands to provide for a library of multimeric compounds wherein the linker and ligand each have complementary functional groups permitting covalent linkage. The library of linkers is preferably selected to have diverse properties such as valency, linker length, linker geometry and rigidity, hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity, amphiphilicity, acidity, basicity, polarizability and polarization. The library of ligands is preferably selected to have diverse attachment points on the same ligand, different functional groups at the same site of otherwise the same ligand, and the like.
- Cellular membranes form a selective permeability barrier to ions and small molecules thereby maintaining intracellular concentrations that are compatible with and optimized for physiological processes. This permeability barrier is comprised of a lipid bilayer, which restricts the passage of polar, charged and hydrophilic molecules and ions, and of cell membrane transporters. Cell membrane transporters include proteinaceous structures that open in a controlled manner to allow selected ions to flow passively into or out of the cell (e.g., ion channels), and proteins that actively pump ions and molecules into or out of the cell against a concentration gradient (e.g., H+/K+ ATPases, MDR efflux pumps, neurotransmitter transporters).
- Ion channels are formed by the association of integral membrane proteins into structures having a central hydrophilic pore. Channel pores allow ions to equilibrate across membranes in response to their electrochemical gradients and at rates that are diffusion-limited. Ion channels are characterized by their selectivity and gating properties. Selectivity refers to the rate at which different ion species pass through an open channel under standard conditions. Gating is the process that regulates the opening and closing of an ion channel. Thus, voltage-regulated ion channels respond to changes in membrane potential; ligand-regulated channels respond to the binding of particular neurotransmitters (e.g., acetylcholine, glycine, GABA, 5-hydroxytryptamine, glutamate) or intracellular messengers (e.g., cyclic nucleotides, Ca++); and mechanosensitive channels respond to mechanical deformation (e.g., stretch). Ion channels exist in resting (closed), open or inactivated (i.e., desensitized) states. Voltage-gated ion channels in the open state typically transition to an inactivated state, and must reacquire the ability to respond to an external stimulus during a recovery period. This may also be true of ligand-gated channels, particularly after prolonged exposure to an agonist. Certain channels are gated by more than one type of stimulus (e.g., an inward rectifying voltage-regulated potassium channel in cardiac muscle is activated by acetylcholine). Ion channels serve a variety of important cellular functions, including excitability, neuronal signalling, excitation- secretion coupling, volume regulation and so on. Ion channels are implicated in a variety of pathophysiological disorders, including hypertension, cardiac arrhythmogenesis, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, and seizures, and mediate the transmission of pain impulses by peripheral nerves. Defective ion channel proteins are responsible for a variety of heritable diseases (see, e.g., Ackerman & Clapham, Ion Channels-Basic Science and Clinical Disease, NEJM 336: 1575 (1997).
- The ABC transporters comprise a superfamily that shares a highly conserved ATP-binding cassette. See, e.g., Higgins,ABC Transporters: From Microorganisms to Man. Annu. Rev. Cell Biol. 8: 67-113 (1992) These transporters typically use ATP hydrolysis as a source of energy to pump diverse classes of molecules (e.g., sugars, peptides, inorganic ions, amino acids, oligopeptides, polysaccharides, proteins) across membranes against a concentration gradient. Each transporter is highly selective for a particular substrate and pumps unidirectionally . Some members of the ABC transporter family have ion channel activity. For example, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR), a cAMP- and protein kinase A-regulated Cl− channel, uses ATP hydrolysis as a gating mechanism. P-glycoprotein (MDR) appears to be bifunctional, possessing drug transport as well as chloride channel activities; the latter is cell-volume regulated and requires the binding, but not the hydrolysis, of ATP. In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, ABC transporters function in nutrient uptake, protein export and drug resistance (e.g., erythromycin resistance in Staphylococcus, daunomycin resistance in Streptomyces, chloroquine resistance in Plasmodium, and multidrug resistance in cancers).
- Ion pumps are also involved in the active transport of ions across membranes. Ion pumps are members of the ion-transporting P-type ATPase family which couple ion transport to a cycle of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of an ATPase enzyme. In mammalian cells, this class includes the Ca++ATPases, the Na+/K+ ATPases, and the H+/K+ ATPases. The H+/ K+ ATPases are involved in acid secretion in the stomach and are clinically important targets in peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and gastric hyperacidity. The Ca++ and Na+/K+ ATPases are therapeutic targets in the treatment of heart failure. See, e.g., Chapter 34, in: Goodman & Gilman's “The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics”, Ninth Edition,McGraw-Hill (1996).
- Another class of transporters belongs to the neurotransmitter transporter gene family. The proteins in this family are involved, inter alia, in the ion-dependent active uptake of amino acid (e.g., GABA) and amine neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine, dopamine and 5-HT) at presynaptic nerve terminals. The neurotransmitters are taken up into cells against a concentration gradient by coupling the transport to the flow of Na+ and Cl− down their transmembrane gradients. These transporters are clinically important targets for drugs useful in treating anxiety and depression. See, e.g.,
Chapter 12, in: Goodman & Gilman's “The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics”, Ninth Edition,McGraw-Hill (1996). - Cell membrane transporters are comprised of two or more homologous transmembrane protein domains/subunits which associate to form a translocation channel for ions and molecules. Cell membrane transporters are integral membrane proteins and thus are constrained in their rotational and translational mobility. They can be grouped into a small number of superfamilies on the basis of shared structural features (e.g., amino acid sequence homologies), may operate by similar molecular mechanisms, and in many cases may have a common evolutionary origin. Nevertheless, within a given superfamily there may be numerous subtypes with different tissue specificities resulting from combinations of different types and numbers of subunits.
- FIG. 1 illustrates in cross-sectional view the transmembrane domain/subunit organization of various transporter molecules, as it is presently understood by those working in the field of transport physiology. It should be understood that, for purposes of simplification, other subunits that may be involved in or required for transporter activity have been omitted from the diagram.
- Referring to FIG. 1, voltage-gated ion channels and related proteins are tetrameric structures formed by the noncovalent association of individual subunits (1),(2), or by the interaction of homologous domains of a monomeric protein (3). The channels differ as well in the number of transmembrane segments per subunit or per domain. Inward-rectifier type K+ channels and P2X purinergic channels have two transmembrane-segments in each subunit, Shaker-type K+ channels have six transmembrane segments per subunit and Na+ and Ca++ channels have six transmembrane segments per domain. Neurotransmitter-gated ion channels such as those shown in (4) are organized as pentamers, with each of the subunits having four transmembrane segments/domains. Lastly, the ion pumps and transporters (not shown here) contain 10-12 transmembrane segments in various structural arrangements, including pseudodimers having two nonidentical homologous domains on a single protein, (e.g., MDR, CFTR) (Higgins, Annu. Rev. Cell Biol. 8: 67-113 (1992)) and dimers (e.g., H+/K+ ATPase) (Hall et al, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1077: 173-179 (1991).
- Because of their central roles in ion homeostasis and in cell signalling events, ion transporters are involved in a wide variety of physiological activities, e.g., muscle contraction, cardiovascular function, renal function, neurotransmission, insulin secretion, immunomodulation and the like. See, e.g., Chapters 19, 35 and 37, In: Goodman & Gilman's “The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics”, Ninth Edition,McGraw-Hill (1996); Aidley & Stanfield, “Ion Channels”, Cambridge University Press (1996); Z. W. Hall,
Chapter 3, in: “An Introduction to Molecular Neurobiology”, Sinauer Associates Inc. (1992); Cahalan and Chandy, Curr Opin in Biotech 8, 749 (1997). - Membrane-associated transporters play an important role in a wide variety of pathologic conditions. In some instances, these are traceable to genetic alterations in the transporters (see, e.g., Ackerman and Clapham,NEJM 336: 1575-1586 (1997). In diseased tissues, one or more transporter activities may be involved in pathogenic mechanisms, e.g., Ca++, Na+ and K+ channels in cardiac arrhythmias (see, e.g., Task Force of the Working Group on Arrhythmias of the European Society of Cardiology, Circulation 84: 1831 (1991); H+pumps in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (see, e.g., Kahrilas, JAMA 276: 983-988 (1996)). In still others, molecular transporters contribute to drug resistance of pathogens and tumor cells (e.g., bacterial efflux pumps, Nikaido, Science 264: 382 (1994); mammalian MDR pumps; Gottesman & Pastan, Annu. Rev. Biochem. 62: 385 (1993)).
- Not surprisingly, cell membrane transporters are recognized as important targets for drug therapy. For example, sodium channels are targeted by local anesthetics, certain antiarrhythmic drugs and anticonvulsants; potassium channels are targeted by certain antidiabetic, antihypertensive and antiarryhthmic drugs; calcium channels are targeted by certain antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic and antianginal drugs; ligand-gated Cl− channels (invertebrates) are targeted by certain antiparasitic drugs; the proton channel of the influenza virus is targeted by certain antiviral drugs; H+/K+-ATPase is targeted by drugs used in gastric acidity disorders and peptic ulcer disease; and monoamine transporters are targeted for the treatment of depression.
- Nevertheless, the clinical shortcomings of drugs in current usage (e.g., low potency, poor safety profile, lack of selectivity for the intended therapeutic target, and suboptimal duration of action) suggest that there continues to exist a need for new types of drugs having improved therapeutic activities.
- This invention addresses the above-mentioned needs by providing novel multi-binding compounds that bind cell membrane transporters in biological systems. The binding of these compounds to such cell membrane transporters can be used to treat diseases and conditions mediated by such cells.

- Biological systems in general are controlled by molecular interactions between bioactive ligands and their receptors, in which the receptor “recognizes” a molecule or a portion thereof (i.e., a ligand domain) to produce a biological effect. Thus, the cellular transport of ions and molecules involves “recognition” and interaction of these substrates with specific membrane-associated transporters. Accordingly, diseases or conditions that involve, or are mediated by, cell membrane transporters can be treated with pharmacologically active ligands that interact with such transporters to initiate, modulate or abrogate transporter activity.
- The interaction of a cell membrane transporter and a ligand may be described in terms of “affinity” and “specificity”. The “affinity” and “specificity” of any given ligand-cell membrane transporter interaction is dependent upon the complementarity of molecular binding surfaces and the energetic costs of complexation (i.e., the net difference in free energy ΔG between bound and free states). Affinity may be quantified by the equilibrium constant of complex formation, the ratio of on/off rate constants, and/or by the free energy of complex formation. Specificity relates to the difference in binding affinity of a ligand for different receptors.
- The net free energy of interaction of a ligand with a cell membrane transporter is the difference between energetic gains (enthalpy gained through molecular complementarity and entropy gained through the hydrophobic effect) and energetic costs (enthalpy lost through decreased solvation and entropy lost through reduced translational, rotational and conformational degrees of freedom).
- The compounds of this invention are comprised of 2 to 10 ligands covalently linked together and capable of acting as multi-binding agents. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the surprising activity of these compounds is believed to arise at least in part from their ability to bind in a multivalent manner with the cell membrane transporter, which gives rise to a more favorable net free energy of binding. Multivalent binding interactions are characterized by the concurrent interaction of at least two ligands of a multi-binding compound with multiple ligand binding sites on a cell membrane transporter. Multivalent interactions differ from collections of individual monovalent interactions by being capable of providing enhanced biologic and/or therapeutic effect. Monovalent and multivalent binding is schematically illustrated in the diagram below. Multivalent binding can amplify binding affinities and differences in binding affinities, resulting in enhanced binding specificity as well as affinity.

For example, optionally substituted alkyl means that alkyl may or may not be substituted by those groups enumerated in the definition of substituted alkyl.
- The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the multi-binding compounds of this invention and which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. In many cases, the multi-binding compounds of this invention are capable of forming acid and/or base salts by virtue of the presence of amino and/or carboxyl groups or groups similar thereto.
- Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be prepared from inorganic and organic bases. Salts derived from inorganic bases, include by way of example only, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium and magnesium salts. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, such as alkyl amines, dialkyl amines, trialkyl amines, substituted alkyl amines, di(substituted alkyl) amines, tri(substituted alkyl) amines, alkenyl amines, dialkenyl amines, trialkenyl amines, substituted alkenyl amines, di(substituted alkenyl) amines, tri(substituted alkenyl) amines, cycloalkyl amines, di(cycloalkyl) amines, tri(cycloalkyl) amines, substituted cycloalkyl amines, disubstituted cycloalkyl amine, trisubstituted cycloalkyl amines, cycloalkenyl amines, di(cycloalkenyl) amines, tri(cycloalkenyl) amines, substituted cycloalkenyl amines, disubstituted cycloalkenyl amine, trisubstituted cycloalkenyl amines, aryl amines, diaryl amines, triaryl amines, heteroaryl amines, diheteroaryl amines, triheteroaryl amines, heterocyclic amines, diheterocyclic amines, triheterocyclic amines, mixed di-and tri-amines where at least two of the substituents on the amine are different and are selected from the group consisting of alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, substituted cycloalkenyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclic, and the like. Also included are amines where the two or three substituents, together with the amino nitrogen, form a heterocyclic or heteroaryl group.
- Examples of suitable amines include, by way of example only, isopropylamine, trimethyl amine, diethyl amine, tri(iso-propyl) amine, tri(n-propyl) amine, ethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, tromethamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, caffeine, procaine, hydrabamine, choline, betaine, ethylenediamine, glucosamine, N-alkylglucamines, theobromine, purines, piperazine, piperidine, morpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, and the like. It should also be understood that other carboxylic acid derivatives would be useful in the practice of this invention, for example, carboxylic acid amides, including carboxamides, lower alkyl carboxamides, dialkyl carboxamides, and the like.
- Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts may be prepared from inorganic and organic acids. Salts derived from inorganic acids include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. Salts derived from organic acids include acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluene-sulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like.
- The term “protecting group” or “blocking group” refers to any group which when bound to one or more hydroxyl, thiol, amino or carboxyl groups of the compounds prevents reactions from occurring at these groups and which protecting group can be removed by conventional chemical or enzymatic steps to reestablish the hydroxyl, thiol, amino or carboxyl group. See, generally, T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wuts “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis,” 2nd Ed, 1991 , John Wiley and Sons, N.Y.
- The particular removable blocking group employed is not critical and preferred removable hydroxyl blocking groups include conventional substituents such as allyl, benzyl, acetyl, chloroacetyl, thiobenzyl, benzylidine, phenacyl, t-butyl-diphenylsilyl and any other group that can be introduced chemically onto a hydroxyl functionality and later selectively removed either by chemical or enzymatic methods in mild conditions compatible with the nature of the product.
- Preferred removable amino blocking groups include conventional substituents such as t-butyoxycarbonyl (t-BOC), benzyloxycarbonyl (CBZ), fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC), allyloxycarbonyl (ALOC) and the like, which can be removed by conventional conditions compatible with the nature of the product.
- Preferred carboxyl protecting groups include esters such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, t-butyl etc. which can be removed by mild hydrolysis conditions compatible with the nature of the product.
- As used herein, the terms “inert organic solvent” or “inert solvent” mean a solvent inert under the conditions of the reaction being described in conjunction therewith [including, for example, benzene, toluene, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran (“THF”), dimethylformamide (“DMF”), chloroform (“CHCl3”), methylene chloride (or dichloromethane or “CH2Cl2”), diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, acetone, methylethyl ketone, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, tert-butanol, dioxane, pyridine, and the like]. Unless specified to the contrary, the solvents used in the reactions of the present invention are inert solvents.
- The term “library” refers to at least 3, preferably from 102 to 109 and more preferably from 102 to 104 multimeric compounds. Preferably, these compounds are prepared as a multiplicity of compounds in a single solution or reaction mixture which permits facile synthesis thereof. In one embodiment, the library of multimeric compounds can be directly assayed for multibinding properties. In another embodiment, each member of the library of multimeric compounds is first isolated and, optionally, characterized. This member is then assayed for multibinding properties.
- The term “collection” refers to a set of multimeric compounds which are prepared either sequentially or concurrently (e.g., combinatorially). The collection comprises at least 2 members; preferably from 2 to 109 members and still more preferably from 10 to 104 members.
- The term “multimeric compound” refers to compounds comprising from 2 to 10 ligands covalently connected through at least one linker which compounds may or may not possess multibinding properties (as defined herein).
- The term “pseudohalide” refers to functional groups which react in displacement reactions in a manner similar to a halogen. Such functional groups include, by way of example, mesyl, tosyl, azido and cyano groups.
- The term “cell membrane transporter” refers to a biomembrane-associated structure that is capable of transporting ions and/or molecules across a lipid membrane which is normally impermeant. Transporters include ion channels, molecular transporters and ion pumps. Examples of cell membrane transporters and ligands (drugs) that bind to them and disease conditions mediated thereby include those found in Tables 1 and 6, and in FIG. 1 (see Appendix).
- “Ligand” as used herein denotes a compound that is a binding partner for a receptor, such as a cell membrane transporter, and is bound thereto by complementarity. The specific region or regions of the ligand molecule that is recognized by the ligand binding site of a receptor is designated as the “ligand domain” . A ligand may be either capable of binding to a receptor by itself, or may require the presence of one or more non-ligand components for binding (e.g. Ca2+, Mg2+ or a water molecule is required for the binding of a ligand to various receptors).
- An exemplary list of ligands that target cell membrane transporters is shown in Table 1 (Appendix). For purposes of the present invention, however, it should be understood that portions of the ligand structure that are not essential for specific molecular recognition and binding activity may be varied substantially, replaced with unrelated structures and, in some cases, omitted entirely without affecting the binding interaction. It is further understood that the term ligands is not intended to be limited to compounds known to be useful as cell membrane transporter-binding compounds (e.g., known drugs). Those skilled in the art will understand that the term ligand can equally apply to a molecule that is not normally recognized for its transporter binding properties. The primary requirement for a ligand as defined herein is that it has a ligand domain, as defined above, which is available for binding to a recognition site on a cell membrane transporter. In addition, it should be noted that ligands that exhibit marginal activity or lack useful activity as monomers can be highly active as multibinding compounds, because of the biological benefit conferred by multivalency.
- “Multi-binding agent” or “multi-binding compound” refers to a compound that is capable of multivalency as defined below, and which has from 2 to 10 ligands covalently bound to one or more linkers which may be the same or different. The multi-binding agent provides a biologic and/or therapeutic effect greater than the aggregate of unlinked ligands equivalent thereto. That is to say, that the biologic and/or therapeutic effect of the ligands attached to the multi-binding compound is greater than that achieved by the same number of unlinked ligands made available for binding to the receptor or receptors. Examples of greater “biologic and/or therapeutic effect” include increased ligand-receptor binding interactions (e.g., increased affinity; increased agonist, antagonist or modulatory effects; improved kinetics), increased selectivity for the target, increased potency, increased efficacy, decreased toxicity, optimized duration of action, improved bioavailability, improved pharmacokinetics, improved activity spectrum, increased therapeutic index, and the like. The multibinding compounds of this invention will exhibit at least one, and preferably more than one, of the above-mentioned effects.
- The term “ligand binding site” as used herein denotes a site on a receptor, such as a cell membrane transporter, that recognizes a ligand domain and provides a binding partner for the ligand. The ligand binding site may be defined by monomeric or multimeric structures. This interaction may be capable of producing a unique biological effect, for example agonism, antagonism, modulation, or may maintain an ongoing biological event, and the like. For purposes of this invention, the ligand, the ligand domain and the ligand binding site cannot both be an antibody, an antibody domain or a fragment of an antibody.
- It should be recognized that the ligand binding sites of cell membrane transporters that participate in biological multivalent binding interactions are constrained to varying degrees by their intra- and intermolecular associations. For example, ligand binding sites may be covalently joined in a single structure, noncovalently associated in one or more multimeric structures, embedded in a membrane or biopolymer matrix, and so on, and therefore have less translational and rotational freedom than if the same sites were present as monomers in solution.
- The terms “agonism” and “antagonism” are well known in the art. As used herein, the term “agonist” refers to a ligand that when bound to a cell membrane transporter stimulates the functional activity of the transporter. The term “antagonist” refers to a ligand that when bound to a transporter inhibits the functional activity of the transporter.
- The term “modulatory effect” is intended to refer to the ability of a ligand to change the activity of a cell membrane transporter through binding to the transporter, regardless of whether the transporter is activated (or inhibited) by an endogenous ligand, or by the occurrence (or non-occurrence) of a physicochemical stimulus (e.g., a change in membrane potential or mechanical deformation in the case of certain classes of ion channels). The “modulatory effect” of compounds of this invention will often result in inhibition of transport processes.
- “Potency” as used herein refers to the minimum concentration at which a ligand is able to achieve a desirable biological or therapeutic effect. The potency of a ligand is typically proportional to its affinity for its receptor. In some cases, the potency may be non-linearly correlated with its affinity. In comparing the potency of two drugs, e.g., a multi-binding agent and the aggregate of its unlinked ligand, the dose-response curve of each is determined under identical test conditions (e.g. in an in vitro or in vivo assay, in an appropriate animal model (such as a human patient)). The finding that the multi-binding agent produces an equivalent biologic or therapeutic effect at a lower concentration than the aggregate unlinked ligand (e.g. on a per weight, per mole or per ligand basis) is indicative of enhanced potency.
- “Univalency” as used herein refers to a single binding interaction between one ligand with one ligand binding site as defined herein. It should be noted that a compound having multiple copies of a ligand (or ligands) exhibits univalency when only one ligand of that compound interacts with a ligand binding site. Examples of univalent interactions are depicted below.
- “Multivalency” as used herein refers to the concurrent binding of from 2 to 10 linked ligands (which may be the same or different) and two or more corresponding ligand binding sites, which may be the same or different. For example, two ligands connected by a linker that bind concurrently to two ligand binding sites would be considered bivalent; three concurrently binding ligands thus connected would be trivalent.
- It should be understood that not all compounds that contain multiple copies of a ligand attached to a linker necessarily exhibit the phenomena of multi-valency, i.e., that the biologic and/or therapeutic effect of the multi-binding agent is greater than that of the same number of unlinked ligands made available for binding to the receptor or receptors. For multi-valency to occur, the ligands that are connected by a linker or linkers have to be presented to their receptors by the linker(s) in a specific manner in order to bring about the desired ligand-orienting result, and thus produce a multi-binding interaction.
- “Selectivity” or “specificity” is a measure of the binding preferences of a ligand for different receptors. The selectivity of a ligand with respect to its target receptor relative to another receptor is given by the ratio of the respective values of Kd (i.e., the dissociation constants for each ligand-receptor complex) or, in cases where a biological effect is observed below the Kd, the ratio of the respective EC50s (i.e., the concentrations that produce 50 % of the maximum response for the ligand interacting with the two distinct receptors).
- The term “treatment” refers to any treatment of a disease or condition in a mammal, particularly a human, or an avian, and includes:
- (i) preventing the disease or condition from occurring in a subject which may be predisposed to the condition but has not yet been diagnosed with the condition and, accordingly, the treatment constitutes prophylactic treatment for the pathologic condition;
- (ii) inhibiting the disease or condition, i.e., arresting its development;
- (iii) relieving the disease or condition, i.e., causing regression of the disease or condition; or
- (iv) relieving the symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, e.g., relieving nausea, neuropathic pain, resistance to respiratory airflow, etc. without addressing the underlining disease or condition.
- The term “disease or condition which is modulated by treatment with a ligand” covers all disease states and/or conditions (e.g., pain, nausea, resistance to respiratory airflow) that are generally acknowledged in the art to be usefully treated with a ligand for a cell membrane transporter in general, and those disease states and/or conditions that have been found to be usefully treated by a specific multi-binding compound of our invention, i.e., the compounds of Formula I. Such disease states include, by way of example only, hypertension, cardiac arrythmias, myocardial ischemia, Liddle syndrome, insulinoma, cystic fibrosis, myopathies, seizures, neuropathic pain, anxiety, gastric acidity, achalasia, influenza, parasitic diseases, and the like.
- The term “therapeutically effective amount” refers to that amount of multi-binding compound that is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined above, when administered to a mammal or avian in need of such treatment. The therapeutically effective amount will vary depending upon the subject and disease condition being treated, the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration and the like, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art.
- The term “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” is intended to include vehicles and carriers capable of being coadministered with a multi-binding compound to facilitate the performance of its intended function. The use of such media for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Examples of such vehicles and carriers include solutions, solvents, dispersion media, delay agents, emulsions and the like. Any other conventional carrier suitable for use with the multi-binding compounds also falls within the scope of the present invention.
- The term “linker”, identified where appropriate by the symbol X, refers to a group or groups that covalently links from 2 to 10 ligands (as defined above) in a manner that provides for a compound capable of multivalency when in the presence of a cell membrane transporter having 2 or more ligand binding sites. Among other features, the linker is a ligand-orienting entity that permits attachment of multiple copies of a ligand (which may be the same or different) thereto. It may be chiral or achiral. In some cases, the linker may itself be biologically active. The term “linker” does not, however, cover solid inert supports such as beads, glass particles, rods, and the like, but it is to be understood that the multi-binding compounds of this invention can be attached to a solid support if desired, for example, for use in separation and purification processes and for similar applications.
- The extent to which multivalent binding is realized depends upon the efficiency with which the linker or linkers that joins the ligands presents them to their array of ligand binding sites. Beyond presenting these ligands for multivalent interactions with ligand binding sites, the linker spatially constrains these interactions to occur within dimensions defined by the linker. Thus the structural features of the linker (valency, geometry, orientation, size, flexibility, chemical composition) are features of multi-binding compounds that play an important role in determining their molecular interactions with receptors and efficacy.
- The linkers used in this invention are selected to allow multivalent binding of ligands to any desired ligand binding sites of a cell membrane transporter, whether such sites are located interiorly (e.g., within a channel/translocation pore), both interiorly and on the periphery of a transporter, at the boundary region between the lipid bilayer and the transporter, or at any intermediate position thereof. The distance between the nearest neighboring ligand domains is preferably in the range of about 2 Å to about 100 Å, more preferably in the range of about 2 Å to about 50 Å and even more preferably about 3-15 Å.
- The ligands are covalently attached to the linker or linkers using conventional chemical techniques. The reaction chemistries resulting in such linkage are well known in the art and involve the use of reactive functional groups present on the linker and ligand. Preferably, the reactive functional groups on the linker are selected relative to the functional groups available on the ligand for binding or which can be introduced onto the ligand for binding. Again, such reactive functional groups are well known in the art. For example, reaction between a carboxylic acid of either the linker or the ligand and a primary or secondary amine of the ligand or the linker in the presence of suitable well-known activating agents results in formation of an amide bond covalently linking the ligand to the linker; reaction between an amine group of either the linker or the ligand and a sulfonyl halide of the ligand or the linker results in formation of a sulfonamide bond covalently linking the ligand to the linker; and reaction between an alcohol or phenol group of either the linker or the ligand and an alkyl or aryl halide of the ligand or the linker results in formation of an ether bond covalently linking the ligand to the linker. Table 2 (Appendix) illustrates numerous reactive functional groups and the resulting bonds formed by reaction therebetween. Where functional groups are lacking, they can be created by suitable chemistries that are described in standard organic chemistry texts such asJ. March, “Advanced Organic Chemistry”, 4th Edition, (Wiley-Interscience (New York), 1992.
- The linker is attached to the ligand at a position that retains ligand domain-receptor binding and specifically permits the ligand domain of the ligand to orient itself to bind to the ligand binding site. The determination of where acceptable substitutions can be made on a ligand is typically based on prior knowledge of structure-activity relationships of the ligand and/or congeners and/or structural information about ligand-receptor complexes (e.g., X-ray crystallography, NMR, and the like). Such positions and synthetic protocols for linkage are well known in the art and can be determined by those with ordinary skill in the art. Following attachment of a ligand to the linker or a significant portion thereof (e.g., 2-10 atoms of linker), the linker-ligand conjugate may be tested for retention of activity in a relevant assay system (see Specific Embodiments and Table 3 (Appendix) for representative assays).
- The relative orientation in which the ligand domains are displayed to the receptors depends both on the particular point (or points) of attachment of the ligands to the linker, and on the geometry of the linker framework. The term linker embraces everything that is not considered to be part of the ligand, e.g., ancillary groups such as solubilizing groups, lipophilic groups, groups that alter pharmacodynamics or pharmacokinetics, groups that modify the diffusability of the multi-binding compound, groups that attach the ligand to the linker, groups that aid the ligand-orienting function of the linker, for example, by imparting flexibility or rigidity to the linker as a whole, or to a portion thereof, and so on. In some preferred embodiments, the linker comprises a portion of the ligand, as is illustrated below for a bivalent lidocaine compound of Formula I. The N-ethyl groups of a lidocaine molecule that comprise the linker on the left side of the structure are highlighted in bold.
- At present, it is preferred that the multi-binding agent is a bivalent compound, i.e., two ligands which are covalently linked to linker X, or a trivalent compound, i.e., three ligands which are covalently linked to linker X.
- Suitable linkers are discussed below.
- The linker or linkers, when covalently attached to multiple copies of the ligands, provides a biocompatible, substantially non-immunogenic multi-binding compound. The biological activity of the multi-binding compound is highly sensitive to the geometry, composition, size, flexibility or rigidity, the presence or absence of anionic or cationic charge, the relative hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, and similar properties of the linker. Accordingly, the linker is preferably chosen to maximize the biological activity of the multi-binding compound. The linker may be biologically “neutral,” i.e., not itself contribute any biological activity to the multi-binding compound, or it may be chosen to enhance the biological activity of the compound. In general, the linker may be chosen from any organic molecule construct that orients two or more ligands to the receptors to permit multivalency. In this regard, the linker can be considered as a “framework” on which the ligands are arranged in order to bring about the desired ligand-orienting result, and thus produce a multi-binding compound.
- For example, different orientations of ligands can be achieved by varying the geometry of the framework (linker) by use of mono- or polycyclic groups, such as aryl and/or heteroaryl groups, or structures incorporating one or more carbon-carbon multiple bonds (alkenyl, alkenylene, alkynyl or alkynylene groups). The optimal geometry and composition of frameworks (linkers) used in the multi-binding compounds of this invention are based upon the properties of their intended receptors. For example, it is preferred to use rigid cyclic groups (e.g., aryl, heteroaryl), or non-rigid cyclic groups (e.g., cycloalkyl or crown groups) to reduce conformational entropy when such may be necessary to achieve energetically coupled binding.
- Different hydrophobic/hydrophilic characteristics of the linker as well as the presence or absence of charged moieties can readily be controlled by the skilled artisan. For example, the hydrophobic nature of a linker derived from hexamethylene diamine (H2N(CH2)6NH2) or related polyamines can be modified to be substantially more hydrophilic by replacing the alkylene group with a poly(oxyalkylene) group such as found in the commercially available “Jeffamines” (class of surfactants).
- Different frameworks can be designed to provide preferred orientations of the ligands. Such frameworks may be represented by using an array of dots (as shown below) wherein each dot is either an atom, chosen from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, or halogen, or the dot represents a point in space (i.e., an absence of an atom). Only certain atoms on the grid have the ability to act as an attachment point for the ligands, namely, C, O, N, S and P.
- To facilitate the understanding of the framework structure, the framework is illustrated as a two dimensional array in the following diagram, although clearly the framework is a three dimensional array in practice.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ . . . . . 7 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ . . . . . 6 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ . . . . . 5 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ . . . . . 4 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ . . . . . 3 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ . . . . . 2 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ . . . . . 1 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ . . . . . 0 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ . . . . . 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 - Atoms can be connected to each other via bonds (single, double or triple bonds with acceptable resonance and tautomeric forms), with regard to the usual constraints of chemical bonding. Ligands may be attached to the framework via single, double or triple bonds (with chemically acceptable tautomeric and resonance forms). Multiple ligand groups (2 to 10) can be attached to the framework such that the minimal, shortest path distance between adjacent ligand groups does not exceed 100 atoms. Preferably, the linker connections to the ligand is selected such that the maximum distance between two adjacent ligands is no more than 40 Angstroms (Å).

- Nodes (1,2), (2,0), (4,4), (5,2), (4,0), (6,2), (7,4), (9,4), (10,2), (9,0), (7,0) all represent carbon atoms. Node (10,0) represents a chlorine atom. All other nodes (or dots) are points in space (i.e., represent an absence of atoms). Nodes (1,2) and (9,4) are attachment points.
- Hydrogen atoms are affixed to nodes (2,4), (4,4), (4,0), (2,0), (7,4), (10,2) and (7,0).
- Nodes (5,2) and (6,2) are connected by a single bond.
- The carbon atoms present are connected by either a single or double bonds, taking into consideration the principle of resonance and/or tautomerism. The intersection of the framework (linker) and the ligand group, and indeed, the framework (linker) itself can have many different bonding patterns. Examples of acceptable patterns of three contiguous atom arrangements are shown in the following diagram:
CCC NCC OCC SCC PCC CCN NCN OCN SCN PCN CCO NCO OCO SCO PCO CCS NCS OCS SCS PCS CCP NCP OCP SCP PCP CNC NNC ONC SNC PNC CNN NNN ONN SNN PNN CNO NNO ONO SNO PNO CNS NNS ONS SNS PNS CNP NNP ONP SNP PNP COC NOC OOC SOC POC CON NON OON SON PON COO NOO OOO SOO POO COS NOS OOS SOS POS COP NOP OOP SOP POP CSC NSC OSC SSC PSC CSN NSN OSN SSN PSN CSO NSO OSO SSO PSO CSS NSS OSS SSS PSS CSP NSP OSP SSP PSP CPC NPC OPC SPC PPC CPN NPN OPN SPN PPN CPO NPO OPO SPO PPO CPS NPS OPS SPS PPS CPP NPP OPP SPP PPP - One skilled in the art would be able to identify bonding patterns that would produce multivalent compounds. Methods for producing these bonding arrangements are described in March,“Advanced Organic Chemistry”, 4th Edition, Wiley-Interscience, New York, N.Y. (1992). These arrangements are described in the grid of dots shown in the scheme above. All of the possible arrangements for the five most preferred atoms are shown. Each atom has a variety of acceptable oxidation states. The bonding arrangements underlined are less acceptable and are not preferred.

- The identification of an appropriate framework geometry for ligand domain presentation is an important first step in the construction of a multi-binding agent with enhanced activity. Systematic spatial searching strategies can be used to aid in the identification of preferred frameworks through an iterative process. FIG. 2 (Appendix) illustrates a useful strategy for determining an optimal framework display orientation for ligand domains and can be used for preparing the bivalent compounds of this invention. Various alternative strategies known to those skilled in the art of molecular design can be substituted for the one described here. As shown in FIG. 2, the ligands (shown as filled circles) are attached to a central core structure such as phenyldiacetylene (Panel A) or cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid (Panel B). The ligands are spaced apart from the core by an attaching moiety of variable lengths m and n. If the ligand possesses multiple attachment sites (see discussion below), the orientation of the ligand on the attaching moiety may be varied as well. The positions of the display vectors around the central core structures are varied, thereby generating a collection of compounds. Assay of each of the individual compounds of a collection generated as described will lead to a subset of compounds with the desired enhanced activities (e.g., potency, selectivity). The analysis of this subset using a technique such as Ensemble Molecular Dynamics will suggest a framework orientation that favors the properties desired.
- The process may require the use of multiple copies of the same central core structure or combinations of different types of display cores. It is to be noted that core structures other than those shown here can be used for determining the optimal framework display orientation of the ligands. The above-described technique can be extended to trivalent compounds (FIG. 3) and compounds of higher-order valency.

- FIG. 4 illustrates the variety of multiligand orientations that are obtained using different types of linkers. It can therefore be seen that there is a plethora of possibilities for the composition of a linker. A wide variety of linkers is commercially available (see, e.g., Chem Sources USA and Chem Sources International; the ACD electronic database; and Chemical Abstracts). Many of the linkers that are suitable for use in this invention fall into this category. Others can be readily synthesized by methods known in the art, and as described below.
- Examples of linkers include aliphatic moieties, aromatic moieties, steroidal moieties, peptides, and the like. Specific examples are peptides or polyamides, hydrocarbons, aromatics, heterocyclics, ethers, lipids, cationic or anionic groups, or a combination thereof.
- Examples are given below and in Tables 4 and 5, but it should be understood that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention. For example, properties of the linker can be modified by the addition or insertion of ancillary groups into the linker, for example, to change the solubility of the multi-binding compound (in water, fats, lipids, biological fluids, etc.), hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, linker flexibility, antigenicity, stability, and the like. For example, the introduction of one or more poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) groups onto the linker enhances the hydrophilicity and water solubility of the multi-binding compound, increases both molecular weight and molecular size and, depending on the nature of the unPEGylated linker, may increase the in vivo retention time. Further, PEG may decrease antigenicity and potentially enhances the overall rigidity of the linker.
- Ancillary groups that enhance the water solubility/hydrophilicity of the linker and, accordingly, the resulting multi-binding compounds are useful in practicing this invention. Thus, it is within the scope of the present invention to use ancillary groups such as, for example, small repeating units of ethylene glycols, alcohols, polyols, (e.g., glycerin, glycerol propoxylate, saccharides, including mono-, oligosaccharides, etc.) carboxylates (e.g., small repeating units of glutamic acid, acrylic acid, etc.), amines (e.g., tetraethylenepentamine), and the like to enhance the water solubility and/or hydrophilicity of the multi-binding compounds of this invention. In preferred embodiments, the ancillary group used to improve water solubility/hydrophilicity will be a polyether. In particularly preferred embodiments, the ancillary group will contain a small number of repeating ethylene oxide (—CH2CH2O—) units.
- The incorporation of lipophilic ancillary groups within the structure of the linker to enhance the lipophilicity and/or hydrophobicity of the compounds of Formula I is also within the scope of this invention. Lipophilic groups useful with the linkers of this invention include, but are not limited to, lower alkyl, aromatic groups and polycyclic aromatic groups. The aromatic groups may be either unsubstituted or substituted with other groups, but are at least substituted with a group which allows their covalent attachment to the linker. As used herein the term “aromatic groups” incorporates both aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic aromatics. Other lipophilic groups useful with the linkers of this invention include fatty acid derivatives which may or may not form micelles in aqueous medium and other specific lipophilic groups which modulate interactions between the multi-binding compound and biological membranes.
- Also within the scope of this invention is the use of ancillary groups which result in the compound of Formula I being incorporated into a vesicle, such as a liposome, or a micelle. The term “lipid” refers to any fatty acid derivative that is capable of forming a bilayer or micelle such that a hydrophobic portion of the lipid material orients toward the bilayer while a hydrophilic portion orients toward the aqueous phase. Hydrophilic characteristics derive from the presence of phosphato, carboxylic, sulfato, amino, sulfhydryl, nitro and other like groups well known in the art. Hydrophobicity could be conferred by the inclusion of groups that include, but are not limited to, long chain saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups of up to 20 carbon atoms and such groups substituted by one or more aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, and/or heterocyclic group(s). Preferred lipids are phosphoglycerides and sphingolipids, representative examples of which include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidic acid, palmitoyleoyl phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidyl-ethanolamine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, distearoylphosphatidylcholine and dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine. Other compounds lacking phosphorous, such as sphingolipid and glycosphingolipid families, are also within the group designated as lipid. Additionally, the amphipathic lipids described above may be mixed with other lipids including triglycerides and sterols.
- The flexibility of the linker can be manipulated by the inclusion of ancillary groups which are bulky and/or rigid. The presence of bulky or rigid groups can hinder free rotation about bonds in the linker, or bonds between the linker and the ancillary group(s), or bonds between the linker and the functional groups. Rigid groups can include, for example, those groups whose conformational freedom is restrained by the presence of rings and/or π-bonds, for example, aryl, heteroaryl and heterocyclic groups. Other groups which can impart rigidity include polypeptide groups such as oligo- or polyproline chains.
- Rigidity can also be imparted electrostatically. Thus, if the ancillary groups are either positively or negatively charged, the similarly charged ancillary groups will force the linker into a configuration affording the maximum distance between each of the like charges. The energetic cost of bringing the like-charged groups closer to each other, which is inversely related to the square of the distance between the groups, will tend to hold the linker in a configuration that maintains the separation between the like-charged ancillary groups. Further, ancillary groups bearing opposite charges will tend to be attracted to their oppositely charged counterparts and potentially may enter into both inter- and intramolecular ionic bonds. This non-covalent mechanism will tend to hold the linker in a conformation which allows bonding between the oppositely charged groups. The addition of ancillary groups which are charged, or alternatively, protected groups that bear a latent charge which is unmasked, following addition to the linker, by deprotection, a change in pH, oxidation, reduction or other mechanisms known to those skilled in the art, is within the scope of this invention.
- Bulky groups can include, for example, large atoms, ions (e.g., iodine, sulfur, metal ions, etc.) or groups containing large atoms, polycyclic groups, including aromatic groups, non-aromatic groups and structures incorporating one or more carbon-carbon p-bonds (i.e., alkenes and alkynes). Bulky groups can also include oligomers and polymers which are branched- or straight-chain species. Species that are branched are expected to increase the rigidity of the structure more per unit molecular weight gain than are straight-chain species. In preferred embodiments, rigidity (entropic control) is imparted by the presence of alicyclic (e.g., cycloalkyl), aromatic and heterocyclic groups. In other preferred embodiments, this comprises one or more six-membered rings. In still further preferred embodiments, the ring is an aryl group such as, for example, phenyl or naphthyl, or a macrocyclic ring such as, for example, a crown compound.
- In view of the above, it is apparent that the appropriate selection of a linker group providing suitable orientation, entropy and physico-chemical properties is well within the skill of the art.
- Eliminating or reducing antigenicity of the multibinding compounds described herein is also within the scope of this invention. In certain cases, the antigenicity of a multi-binding compound may be eliminated or reduced by use of groups such as, for example, poly(ethylene glycol).
- As explained above, the multi-binding compounds described herein comprise 2-10 ligands attached covalently to a linker that links the ligands in a manner that allows their multivalent binding to ligand binding sites of cell membrane transporters. The linker spatially constrains these interactions to occur within dimensions defined by the linker. This and other factors increases the biologic and/or therapeutic effect of the multi-binding compound as compared to the same number of ligands used in monobinding form.
- The compounds of this invention are preferably represented by the empirical formula (L)p(X)q where L, X, p and q are as defined above. This is intended to include the several ways in which the ligands can be linked together in order to achieve the objective of multivalency, and a more detailed explanation is provided below.
- As noted previously, the linker may be considered as a framework to which ligands are attached. Thus, it should be recognized that the ligands can be attached at any suitable position on this framework, for example, at the termini of a linear chain or at any intermediate position thereof.
-
- i.e., a branched construct analogous to the isomers of butane (n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, and t-butyl). Alternatively, it could be represented as an aryl or cycloalkyl derivative as described above with four (4) ligands attached to the core linker.
- The same considerations apply to higher multibinding compounds of this invention containing from 5-10 ligands, as illustrated in FIG. 4(D). However, for multibinding agents attached to a central linker such as an aryl, cycloalkyl or heterocyclyl group, or a crown compound, there is a self-evident constraint that there must be sufficient attachment sites on the linker to accommodate the number of ligands present; for example, a benzene ring could not accommodate more than 6 ligands, whereas a multi-ring linker (e.g., biphenyl) could accommodate a larger number of ligands.
- The formula (L)p(X)q is also intended to represent a cyclic compound of formula (-L-X-)n , where n is 2-10.
- All of the above variations are intended to be within the scope of the invention defined by the formula (L)p(X)q.
- With the foregoing in mind, a preferred linker may be represented by the following formula:
- -X′-Z-(Y′-Z)m-Y″-Z-X′-
- in which:
- m is an integer of from 0 to 20;
- X′ at each separate occurrence is —O—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, —NR—, —N+ R R′—, —C(O)—, —C(O)O—, —C(O)NH—, —C(S), —C(S)O—, —C(S)NH— or a covalent bond, where R and R′ at each separate occurrence are as defined below for R′ and R″;
- Z is at each separate occurrence selected from alkylene, substituted alkylene, alkylalkoxy, cycloalkylene, substituted cycloalkylene, alkenylene, substituted alkenylene, alkynylene, substituted alkynylene, cycloalkenylene, substituted alkenylene, arylene, substituted arylene, heteroarylene, heterocyclene, substituted heterocyclene, crown compounds, or a covalent bond;
-
- —S—S— or a covalent bond;
- in which:
- n is 0, 1 or 2; and
- R′ and R″ at each separate occurrence are selected from hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, alkynyl, substituted alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl or heterocyclic.
- Additionally, the linker moiety can be optionally substituted at any atom therein by one or more alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, alkynyl, substituted alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl and heterocyclic group.
- Accordingly, examples of compounds of Formula I may be prepared as shown below.
- As indicated above, the simplest (and preferred) construct is a bivalent compound which can be represented as L-X-L, where L is a ligand that is the same or different at each occurrence, and X is the linker. Accordingly, an example of the preparation of a bivalent ligand is given below as an illustration of the manner in which multi-binding compounds of Formula I are obtained. This example is applicable to any ligand that includes or that can be functionalized with amino and/or carboxyl groups, for example, procaine, tetracaine, nifedipine, diltiazem, amlodipine, and others. Examples of different linkers (X) are shown. In the reactions schemes that follow, for ease of understanding of the principles involved, the structure of the ligand is presented as a “box”. Thus, the ligand is illustrated such that carboxyl [C], amino [V], and methylamino [N] groups are shown as examples of connecting points for the linker.
- Two ligands are connected by the linker X via a carboxyl group or amino group of a first ligand to any carboxyl group or amino group of a second ligand. Another simplification in the description of the preparations is that, for example, compound (1) is illustrated as a compound of formula H2N—(CH2)m—NHCO2-t-butyl, in which m is an integer of 1-20. However, it should be understood that (CH2)m is not intended to signify or imply that the scope of this reaction (or of the invention) is limited to straight (i.e. unbranched) alkylene chains, but rather (CH2)m is intended to include branched alkylenes as defined in the Detailed Description of the Invention, substituted alkylenes, and the like, also as disclosed in the Detailed Description of the Invention. Similarly, the compound of formula (2) is illustrated as ClC(O)— (CH2)n—C(O)Cl, and (CH2)n equally is not limited to straight alkylene chains, but includes all those modifications shown above.
-
- in which m and n are independently at each occurrence integers of 1-20.

- As illustrated in

- Compounds of Formula I wherein the linkage is [N-V] may be prepared by a reaction of a compound of formula (26) with a compound of formula (19), as shown in Reaction Scheme 11 (Appendix).
- As illustrated in Reaction Scheme 11, the compound of formula (26) is reacted with a compound of formula (19) in a typical coupling reaction as shown above, to give a compound of Formula I [N-V].
- Compounds of Formula I wherein the linkage is [N-N] may be prepared by reaction of a compound of formula (26) with a dicarboxylic acid of formula HO2—C—(CH2)n—CO2H, as shown in Reaction Scheme 12 (Appendix).
- As illustrated in
Reaction Scheme 12, the compound of formula (26) is reacted with a dicarboxylic acid of formula HO2C—(CH2)n—CO2H in the same manner as shown previously inReaction Scheme 4, to give a compound of Formula I [N-N]. - Trivalent compounds may be prepared from bivalent compounds, for example by reacting the free carboxyl group of a bivalent compound of Formula I as prepared in Reaction Scheme 8 [C-N] with an appropriate linker, which is in turn reacted with a ligand, thus giving three ligands linked together (i.e. of the type L-X-L-X-L). Alternatively, the bivalent compound of Formula I as prepared in Reaction Scheme II could be reacted further with an appropriate linker and ligand to give a trivalent compound.
- Clearly, other compounds of Formula I may be similarly prepared as multibinding agents, i.e. tetravalent, pentavalent, hexavalent, heptavalent, octavalent, nonavalent, and decavalent compounds.
- Alternatively, reaction of three molecules of a ligand bearing a carboxyl group with one molecule of a cyclic linker, such as 1,3,5-tris-(aminomethyl)benzene, yields a trimeric compound that is potentially trivalent. Other cyclic oligomers can be similarly prepared.
-
-
- Where L is a ligand that is the same or different at each occurrence;
- X is a linker; and
- Y is a linker that is the same as X or different.
- Ligands having terminal amino groups may also be linked by reaction with aldehyde linkers to form a Schiff's base, which can be used as such as a linker or reduced to give a saturated linker. Alternatively, reaction with a disulfonyl halide would give a sulfonamide linker. Another alternative synthesis encompasses reaction of an amine with a diiminoester, which would afford an amidine linker.
- Ligands that include a free hydroxy group in their structure (an alcohol or phenolic hydroxy) may be connected using those hydroxy groups as linkage points by means well known in the art. For example, one synthetic strategy that could be used for linking ligands with free hydroxy groups involves treating the ligand with t-butyl bromoacetate in the presence of a suitable base (e.g. potassium carbonate, NaH) to convert the —OH group to an —O—CH2CO2-t-But group, which can be hydrolyzed to an O—CH2CO2H group using trifluoracetic acid. The oxyacetic group can then be used as the linking point for two ligands by making use of the linking strategies shown previously for carboxylic acids. For example, reaction of two molar equivalents of the ligand with a diamine of the formula H2N—(CH2)n—NH2, where n is an integer of 1-20, leads to two ligands being connected by a linker of the formula —CH2CONH—(CH2)n—NHCOCH2.
- Alternatively, treating an alkoxy-bearing ligand with BOC—NHCH2CH2Br effectively converts the —OH group to an O—CH2CH2NH—BOC group, which can by deprotected to give an O—CH2CH2NH2 group using trifluoracetic acid. The oxyethylamino group can then be used as the linking point for two ligands by making use of the linking strategies shown above for amines. For example, reaction of two molar equivalents of the ligand with a dicarboxylic acid of the formula HO2C—(CH2)n—CO2H where n is an integer of 1-20, leads to two ligands being connected by a linker of the formula:
- —CH2CH2NHCO—(CH2)n—CONHCH2CH2—.
- Amiodarone is an example of a ligand that includes a hydroxy group suitable for this linking strategy.
- Alternatively, converting the hydroxy-group to a leaving group, for example by treatment with mesyl chloride or tosyl chloride, or converting the hydroxy group to a halide by means well known in the art, the ligand can then be linked directly by reaction with a diamine.
- The Mannich reaction can be used to link ligands that have an “active” hydrogen in their molecular structure. Examples of such active hydrogens are hydrogens that are adjacent to an electron withdrawing group such as a ketone, aldehyde, acid or ester, nitrile, and nitro group, and the like. The Mannich reaction is well known to those skilled in the art, and many reviews in the chemical literature and textbooks on the Mannich reaction are available. Of particular value is that a linker could be constructed on a ligand having an aromatic moiety, providing there is an active hydrogen. As those of skill in the art will appreciate, other art-recognized chemistries can be used to provide ligands with suitable functional groups for attachment to a linker.
- In view of the above, the chemistry for attaching ligands to linkers is well established in the art and is well within the level of ordinary skill in the art.
- The following examples are used to specifically illustrate the attachment of several classes of ligands to linkers according to this invention. The specific ligands employed are for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as a limitation for this application.
- Included among compounds of Formula I are compounds comprising ligands that inhibit the activity of sodium ion channels. Not surprisingly, these ligands are used for a variety of clinical conditions, for example: ligands such as lidocaine, bupivacaine, benzocaine, etidocaine, mepivacaine, prilocaine, ropivacaine, tetracaine, and the like have local anesthetic properties and are used for the treatment of pain, and for other types of applications, e.g., protection and recovery from ischemia (Lantos et al,Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. Ther. 331: 179 (1996), asthma (Hunt et al., Mayo Clin. Proc. 71: 361 (1996), rapid heartbeat (Gorgels et al. Am. J. Cardiol. 78: 43 (1996)) and natriuresis (Wyeth et al, Life Sci. 60: 473 (1997)); ligands such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, lamotrigine and valproic acid are used to treat seizures; ligands such as disopyramide, procainamide, quinidine, lidocaine, mexiletine, phenytoin, tocainide, encainide, flecainide, and propafenone are used as antiarrhythmic drugs; and amiloride is used conjunctively with other drugs to improve mucociliary clearance in cystic fibrosis and as a diuretic.
- Local anesthetic compounds inhibit the neuronal voltage-gated Na+ion channels and thereby block conduction of pain impulses. There exists a clinical need for local anesthetics with improved safety profiles (e.g., the CNS effects of current agents include restlessness, convulsions, myocardial toxicity, allergic reactions), improved selectivity for sensory vs. motor block, prolonged duration of action and greater potency (e.g., the principal disadvantage of existing agents for infiltration anesthesia is that the required tissue concentration is too high to provide anesthesia for large volumes of tissue).
- The duration of action of a local anesthetic is proportional to the time during which the anesthetic is in contact with the nerve, or, more precisely, the ion channel(s). The effect of currently used local anesthetics tends to be short-lived as a result of dissociation from and diffusion away from the intended site of action. Therefore, repeated doses or a slow-release formulation must be administered to achieve a prolonged effect. Undesired side effects of local anesthetics, such as those mentioned above, are largely a function of systemic concentrations of the drug resulting from such diffusion. Because of these serious side effects, the quantity of drug administered and its localization to non-systemic compartments must be carefully controlled.
- Consequently, methods that localize a local anesthetic to its intended site of action and provide reduced off-rate would be useful for prolonging the duration of action, hence the clinical utility of local anesthetics in pain management and mitigating their untoward toxic effects resulting from systemic levels of the drug.
- A multi-binding local anesthetic compound comprises from 2-10 ligands linked covalently for multivalency. One group of preferred ligands includes conventional local anesthetics such as those described above. Also included in this class of compounds are ligands that share common structural features with conventional local anesthetics such as those listed above, i.e., a benzene ring linked via an ester or amide linkage to an aliphatic group having a terminal tertiary or quaternary amine. The length of the linkage, i.e. the distance between the benzene ring and the amine, is typically about 6-9 Å. Preferred multi-binding local anesthetic compounds include at least two such local anesthetic-type binding groups.
- The modular, repeated tetrameric molecular structure of the sodium ion channel presents a plurality of cation binding sites. Accordingly, quaternary amines, guanidines and amidines are a second preferred class of binding group to be employed in a multi-binding local anesthetic compound. These positively charged amine moieties may comprise the terminal amine moiety of a local anesthetic-type binding group, or may be otherwise linked to a local anesthetic-type binding group, or to the linker framework (described further below) of the multi-binding local anesthetic compound. Also contemplated, in addition to tetraalkyl ammonium ions, are other amine functionalities which are cationic at physiological pH, such as guanidines and amidines.
- In addition to these interactions, the binding of lipophilic groups in the cell membrane proximate to the channel can be useful for increasing the duration of action of multi-binding local anesthetics. A third type of preferred binding group, therefore, is a lipophilic group such as a long chain alkyl group or an aromatic hydrocarbon. Such a group may be linked to the local anesthetic-type binding group, or it may comprise part of a quaternary alkyl amine, or it may be linked to the linker framework of the multi-binding local anesthetic.
- The ligands, as described above, are linked together for multivalent binding interactions with ligand binding sites of a voltage-gated Na+ ion channel. The multi-binding compound includes at least two local anesthetic-type binding groups, and preferably additional groups from the second and third classes described above.
- One type of preferred linker comprises a linear, branched or cyclic chain having from two to fifty, and preferably two to twenty-four, non-hydrogen atoms, where the bonds making up the chain are selected from alkyl (carbon-carbon), alkenyl (double bonded carbon-carbon), alkyl ether (carbon-oxygen), thioether (carbon-sulfur), alkyl amino (carbon-nitrogen) linkages, or a combination thereof. The chain may further include one or more groups selected from cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, heteroaryl, carbonyl, carboxy ester, carboxy amide, and sulfonyl, intervening between these bonds.
- In some preferred compounds, the linker includes three to twelve atoms between amine moieties of the ligands, e.g. between the aliphatic amine groups of local anesthetic-type binding groups. In other preferred compounds, the nitrogen atoms of one or more groups may form part of the linker, as discussed above and shown, for example, in FIGS.6-11, which illustrate differently substituted bivalent, trivalent and higher-order valency multi-binding compounds containing local anesthetic-type ligands. The ligands may be linked via a linear linker, as in, for example, those shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, or form a macrocyclic linker, as in certain crown compounds shown in FIGS. 9-11. The linker may combine linear and cyclic structures, as also shown in FIG. 9.
- Local anesthetic-type ligands may be linked to the linker at different attachment points to achieve different orientations of the ligand domains, thereby to facilitate multivalency, as was discussed previously. This is illustrated below for lidocaine-based compounds of Formula I. Lidocaine is preferably linked via the aliphatic amine moieties, via substituents on the benzene ring, or via the carbon which is alpha to the amide carbonyl group. The lidocaine moieties may be linked to form various combinations of C—, N— and Aryl-linked bivalent compounds. The linker shown below is one of several classes of preferred linkers for local anesthetic-type compounds of this invention, as discussed previously. Other preferred linkers are exemplified in FIGS.6-11 (Appendix).
- Linear linkers may include oligomers having side chains comprising local anesthetic-type binding groups. Any of these compounds may further include binding groups of the second and third classes, i.e. quaternary ammonium ions and/or lipophilic groups, as described above. The compounds may also include one or more chiral centers, such as exists in the monobinding local anesthetic bupivacaine, and may be optically active at such centers, such as the monobinding anesthetic ropivacaine. The centers may be present in the linker of the compound, or in the other types of binding groups, as well as in the local anesthetic-type ligand. Chirality may also be present in compounds lacking asymmetric atoms, e.g., in allene, biphenyl, spirane and helical compounds.
- In one embodiment, particularly useful for more potent anesthetic compounds, the framework comprises ester linkages which are degradable by plasma esterases. The presence of such linkages limits the lifetime of the compound in systemic circulation, thereby reducing systemic toxicity. Such linkages may also be included in the binding groups themselves.
- Representative synthetic methods for preparation of the multi-binding local anesthetic compounds of this invention are shown in Reaction Schemes 14-17 (Appendix).
- Bivalent, trivalent and higher-order valency compounds can be prepared according to the general method shown in Reaction Scheme 14. The starting material is a bi-, tri- or multi-functional amine. A large variety of such amines is commercially available, or they may be prepared by synthetic methods well known in the art. As described above, linkers may incorporate alkylene, alkalkoxy, alkthioalkoxy, amine, carbonyl, ester, or amide linkages, and ring structures.
- As illustrated in Reaction Scheme 14, three molar equivalents of an appropriately substituted N-aryl-2-haloacetamide is reacted with a slight excess of a triamine or triamine salt, preferably in an ethanolic solution containing diisopropylethylamine under an inert atmosphere with mild heating, e.g. 80° C., for several hours until the reaction is complete. The haloacetamide can be prepared by reaction of a substituted aniline with haloacetyl chloride (see Example 7 below). For reaction of secondary amines, the solution is preferably heated at reflux.
- The trivalent compound is isolated and purified by conventional means, preferably by precipitation and filtration. For preparation of compounds of higher-order valency, a similar procedure is followed, using an appropriate number of moles of halocompound.
- According to another route, a local anesthetic-type ligand having a free amine is reacted with a framework precursor having multiple leaving groups. In one example (Example 10 below), approximately two moles of 2′, 6′-dimethyl-2-piperidinecarboxanilide were reacted with an α,ω-dibromide to produce a compound having the structure shown in FIG. 9 (1).
- Compounds incorporating a quaternary amine may be prepared by a similar route, shown in Reaction Scheme 15 and described in Example 9 below. N-methyl amines, for example, can be conveniently prepared from primary amines by synthesizing the t-butoxycarbonyl derivative and reducing it with a hydride reducing agent such as LiAlH4 (LAH). Reaction of the secondary amine with a substituted α-chloroacetamide, as above gives a multivalent compound having a tertiary amine linkage to the framework. This linkage may be quaternized by reaction with a suitable alkylating agent such as methyl iodide, as shown.
- Cyclic or macrocyclic compounds may be prepared from the corresponding cyclic polyamines. These amines include, e.g., piperazine (see, e.g., FIG. 9 (1) to larger structures such as 1,5,9-triazacyclododecane (see, e.g., FIG. 9 (2), 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen), 1,4,8,11 -tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam), 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaazacyclooctadecane (hexacyclen), and the like. The rings may also contain other linkages, such as ether linkages, as in e.g. 1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane (see, e.g., FIG. 9 (3)). Such cyclic compounds are frequently commercially available, as are those named above, and can be synthesized by conventional methods.
- Compounds having two or three local anesthetic-type binding groups attached to a single quaternary nitrogen on a framework (see, e.g., FIG. 11 (1)), can be formed by using a large excess of the α-chloroacetamide component. Such compounds are also typically formed in small quantities as byproducts of the standard alkylation reactions described above. Similarly, “underalkylated” compounds can be formed by using correspondingly less of the α-chloroacetamide component relative to the polyamine.
- Local anesthetic-type ligands linked via the aromatic ring, may be prepared as shown in Reaction Scheme 16 and Example 11. A substituted phenol is nitrated and reacted with a bifunctional (or higher functionality) bromide, forming multiple ether linkages, as shown. The nitro groups are reduced, and the resulting amino groups are condensed with α-chloroacetyl chloride to form amide linkages. The aliphatic chlorine is then displaced by an amine, e.g. diethyl amine, to give the multi-binding compound.
- Local anesthetic-type ligands may be linked “head-to-tail” (N-Aryl) as shown in Reaction Scheme 17.
- When it is desired to incorporate degradable ester linkages into the multivalent compound, this may be accomplished by the use of a local anesthetic-type binding group having an ester rather than an amide linkage. Alternatively, one or more ester linkages may be incorporated into the linking framework (see, e.g., FIG. 7 (1)).
- The methods described above lend themselves to combinatorial approaches for identifying multimeric compounds which possess multibinding properties.
- Specifically, factors such as the proper juxtaposition of the individual ligands of a multibinding compound with respect to the relevant array of binding sites on a target or targets is important in optimizing the interaction of the multibinding compound with its target(s) and to maximize the biological advantage through multivalency. One approach is to identify a library of candidate multibinding compounds with properties spanning the multibinding parameters that are relevant for a particular target. These parameters include: (1) the identity of ligand(s), (2) the orientation of ligands, (3) the valency of the construct, (4) linker length, (5) linker geometry, (6) linker physical properties, and (7) linker chemical functional groups.
- Libraries of multimeric compounds potentially possessing multibinding properties (i.e., candidate multibinding compounds) and comprising a multiplicity of such variables are prepared and these libraries are then evaluated via conventional assays corresponding to the ligand selected and the multibinding parameters desired. Considerations relevant to each of these variables are set forth below:
- A single ligand or set of ligands is (are) selected for incorporation into the libraries of candidate multibinding compounds which library is directed against a particular biological target or targets. The only requirement for the ligands chosen is that they are capable of interacting with the selected target(s). Thus, ligands may be known drugs, modified forms of known drugs, substructures of known drugs or substrates of modified forms of known drugs (which are competent to interact with the target), or other compounds. Ligands are preferably chosen based on known favorable properties that may be projected to be carried over to or amplified in multibinding forms. Favorable properties include demonstrated safety and efficacy in human patients, appropriate PK/ADME profiles, synthetic accessibility, and desirable physical properties such as solubility, logP, etc. However, it is crucial to note that ligands which display an unfavorable property from among the previous list may obtain a more favorable property through the process of multibinding compound formation; i.e., ligands should not necessarily be excluded on such a basis. For example, a ligand that is not sufficiently potent at a particular target so as to be efficacious in a human patient may become highly potent and efficacious when presented in multibinding form. A ligand that is potent and efficacious but not of utility because of a non-mechanism-related toxic side effect may have increased therapeutic index (increased potency relative to toxicity) as a multibinding compound. Compounds that exhibit short in vivo half-lives may have extended half-lives as multibinding compounds. Physical properties of ligands that limit their usefulness (e.g. poor bioavailability due to low solubility, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity) may be rationally modulated in multibinding forms, providing compounds with physical properties consistent with the desired utility.
- Several points are chosen on each ligand at which to attach the ligand to the linker. The selected points on the ligand/linker for attachment are functionalized to contain complementary reactive functional groups. This permits probing the effects of presenting the ligands to their receptor(s) in multiple relative orientations, an important multibinding design parameter. The only requirement for choosing attachment points is that attaching to at least one of these points does not abrogate activity of the ligand. Such points for attachment can be identified by structural information when available. For example, inspection of a co-crystal structure of a protease inhibitor bound to its target allows one to identify one or more sites where linker attachment will not preclude the enzyme:inhibitor interaction. Alternatively, evaluation of ligand/target binding by nuclear magnetic resonance will permit the identification of sites non-essential for ligand/target binding. See, for example, Fesik, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,891,643. When such structural information is not available, utilization of structure-activity relationships (SAR) for ligands will suggest positions where substantial structural variations are and are not allowed. In the absence of both structural and SAR information, a library is merely selected with multiple points of attachment to allow presentation of the ligand in multiple distinct orientations. Subsequent evaluation of this library will indicate what positions are suitable for attachment.
- It is important to emphasize that positions of attachment that do abrogate the activity of the monomeric ligand may also be advantageously included in candidate multibinding compounds in the library provided that such compounds bear at least one ligand attached in a manner which does not abrogate intrinsic activity. This selection derives from, for example, heterobivalent interactions within the context of a single target molecule. For example, consider a receptor antagonist ligand bound to its target receptor, and then consider modifying this ligand by attaching to it a second copy of the same ligand with a linker which allows the second ligand to interact with the same receptor molecule at sites proximal to the antagonist binding site, which include elements of the receptor that are not part of the formal antagonist binding site and/or elements of the matrix surrounding the receptor such as the membrane. Here, the most favorable orientation for interaction of the second ligand molecule with the receptor/matrix may be achieved by attaching it to the linker at a position which abrogates activity of the ligand at the formal antagonist binding site. Another way to consider this is that the SAR of individual ligands within the context of a multibinding structure is often different from the SAR of those same ligands in momomeric form.
- The foregoing discussion focused on bivalent interactions of dimeric compounds bearing two copies of the same ligand joined to a single linker through different attachment points, one of which may abrogate the binding/activity of the monomeric ligand. It should also be understood that bivalent advantage may also be attained with heterodimeric constructs bearing two different ligands that bind to common or different targets. For example, a 5HT4 receptor antagonist and a bladder-selective muscarinic M3 antagonist may be joined to a linker through attachment points which do not abrogate the binding affinity of the monomeric ligands for their respective receptor sites. The dimeric compound may achieve enhanced affinity for both receptors due to favorable interactions between the 5HT4 ligand and elements of the M3 receptor proximal to the formal M3 antagonist binding site and between the M3 ligand and elements of the 5HT4 receptor proximal to the formal 5HT4 antagonist binding site. Thus, the dimeric compound may be more potent and selective antagonist of overactive bladder and a superior therapy for urinary urge incontinence.
- Once the ligand attachment points have been chosen, one identifies the types of chemical linkages that are possible at those points. The most preferred types of chemical linkages are those that are compatible with the overall structure of the ligand (or protected forms of the ligand) readily and generally formed, stable and intrinsically inocuous under typical chemical and physiological conditions, and compatible with a large number of available linkers, Amide bonds, ethers, amines, carbamates, ureas, and sulfonamides are but a few examples of preferred linkages.
- In the library of linkers employed to generate the library of candidate multibinding compounds, the selection of linkers employed in this library of linkers takes into consideration the following factors:
- Valency. In most instances the library of linkers is initiated with divalent linkers. The choice of ligands and proper juxtaposition of two ligands relative to their binding sites permits such molecules to exhibit target binding affinities and specificities more than sufficient to confer biological advantage. Furthermore, divalent linkers or constructs are also typically of modest size such that they retain the desirable biodistribution properties of small molecules.
- Linker length. Linkers are chosen in a range of lengths to allow the spanning of a range of inter-ligand distances that encompass the distance preferable for a given divalent interaction. In some instances the preferred distance can be estimated rather precisely from high-resolution structural information of targets, typically enzymes and soluble receptor targets. In other instances where high-resolution structural information is not available (such as 7TM G-protein coupled receptors), one can make use of simple models to estimate the maximum distance between binding sites either on adjacent receptors or at different locations on the same receptor. In situations where two binding sites are present on the same target (or target subunit for multisubunit targets), preferred linker distances are 2-20 Å, with more preferred linker distances of 3-12 Å. In situations where two binding sites reside on separate (e.g., protein) target sites, preferred linker distances are 20-100 Å, with more preferred distances of 30-70 Å.
- Linker geometry and rigidity. The combination of ligand attachment site, linker length, linker geometry, and linker rigidity determine the possible ways in which the ligands of candidate multibinding compounds may be displayed in three dimensions and thereby presented to their binding sites. Linker geometry and rigidity are nominally determined by chemical composition and bonding pattern, which may be controlled and are systematically varied as another spanning function in a multibinding array. For example, linker geometry is varied by attaching two ligands to the ortho, meta, and para positions of a benzene ring, or in cis- or trans- arrangements at the 1,1- vs. 1,2- vs. 1,3- vs. 1,4-positions around a cyclohexane core or in cis- or trans-arrangements at a point of ethylene unsaturation. Linker rigidity is varied by controlling the number and relative energies of different conformational states possible for the linker. For example, a divalent compound bearing two ligands joined by 1,8-octyl linker has many more degrees of freedom, and is therefore less rigid than a compound in which the two ligands are attached to the 4,4′ positions of a biphenyl linker.
- Linker physical properties. The physical properties of linkers are nominally determined by the chemical constitution and bonding patterns of the linker, and linker physical properties impact the overall physical properties of the candidate multibinding compounds in which they are included. A range of linker compositions is typically selected to provide a range of physical properties (hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, amphiphilicity, polarization, acidity, and basicity) in the candidate multibinding compounds. The particular choice of linker physical properties is made within the context of the physical properties of the ligands they join and preferably the goal is to generate molecules with favorable PK/ADME properties. For example, linkers can be selected to avoid those that are too hydrophilic or too hydrophobic to be readily absorbed and/or distributed in vivo.
- Linker chemical functional groups. Linker chemical functional groups are selected to be compatible with the chemistry chosen to connect linkers to the ligands and to impart the range of physical properties sufficient to span initial examination of this parameter.
- Having chosen a set of n ligands (n being determined by the sum of the number of different attachment points for each ligand chosen) and m linkers by the process outlined above, a library of (n!)m candidate divalent multibinding compounds is prepared which spans the relevant multibinding design parameters for a particular target. For example, an array generated from two ligands, one which has two attachment points (A1, A2) and one which has three attachment points (B1, B2, B3) joined in all possible combinations provide for at least 15 possible combinations of multibinding compounds:
A1-A1 A1-A2 A1-B1 A1-B2 A1-B3 A2-A2 A2-B1 A2- B2 A2-B3 B1-B1 B1-B2 B1-B3 B2-B2 B2-B3 B3-B3 - When each of these combinations is joined by 10 different linkers, a library of 150 candidate multibinding compounds results.
- Given the combinatorial nature of the library, common chemistries are preferably used to join the reactive functionalies on the ligands with complementary reactive functionalities on the linkers. The library therefore lends itself to efficient parallel synthetic methods. The combinatorial library can employ solid phase chemistries well known in the art wherein the ligand and/or linker is attached to a solid support. Alternatively and preferably, the combinatorial libary is prepared in the solution phase. After synthesis, candidate multibinding compounds are optionally purified before assaying for activity by, for example, chromatographic methods (e.g., HPLC).
- Various methods are used to characterize the properties and activities of the candidate multibinding compounds in the library to determine which compounds possess multibinding properties. Physical constants such as solubility under various solvent conditions and logD/clogD values can be determined. A combination of NMR spectroscopy and computational methods is used to determine low-energy conformations of the candidate multibinding compounds in fluid media. The ability of the members of the library to bind to the desired target and other targets is determined by various standard methods, which include radioligand displacement assays for receptor and ion channel targets, and kinetic inhibition analysis for many enzyme targets. In vitro efficacy, such as for receptor agonists and antagonists, ion channel blockers, and antimicrobial activity, can also be determined. Pharmacological data, including oral absorption, everted gut penetration, other pharmacokinetic parameters and efficacy data can be determined in appropriate models. In this way, key structure-activity relationships are obtained for multibinding design parameters which are then used to direct future work.
- The members of the library which exhibit multibinding properties, as defined herein, can be readily determined by conventional methods. First those members which exhibit multibinding properties are identified by conventional methods as described above including conventional assays (both in vitro and in vivo).
- Second, ascertaining the structure of those compounds which exhibit multibinding properties can be accomplished via art recognized procedures. For example, each member of the library can be encrypted or tagged with appropriate information allowing determination of the structure of relevant members at a later time. See, for example, Dower, et al., International Patent Application Publication No. WO 93/06121; Brenner, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 89:5181 (1992); Gallop, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,846,839; each of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Alternatively, the structure of relevant multivalent compounds can also be determined from soluble and untagged libaries of candidate multivalent compounds by methods known in the art such as those described by Hindsgaul, et al., Canadian Patent Application No. 2,240,325 which was published on Jul. 11, 1998. Such methods couple frontal affinity chromatography with mass spectroscopy to determine both the structure and relative binding affinities of candidate multibinding compounds to receptors.
- The process set forth above for dimeric candidate multibinding compounds can, of course, be extended to trimeric candidate compounds and higher analogs thereof.
- Based on the information obtained through analysis of the initial library, an optional component of the process is to ascertain one or more promising multibinding “lead” compounds as defined by particular relative ligand orientations, linker lengths, linker geometries, etc. Additional libraries are generated around these leads to provide for further information regarding structure to activity relationships. These arrays typically bear more focused variations in linker structure to further optimize target affinity and/or activity at the target (antagonism, partial agonism, etc.), and/or alter physical properties. By iterative redesign/analysis using the novel principles of multibinding design along with classical medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology approaches, one is able to prepare and identify optimal multibinding compounds that exhibit biological advantage towards their targets and as therapeutic agents.
- To further elaborate upon this procedure, suitable divalent linkers include, by way of example only, those derived from dicarboxylic acids, disulfonylhalides, dialdehydes, diketones, dihalides, dipseudohalides, diisocyanates, diamines, diols, diboronates, mixtures of carboxylic acids, sulfonylhalides, aldehydes, ketones, halides, pseudohalides, isocyanates, amines, boronates, and alcohols. In each case, the carboxylic acid, sulfonylhalide, aldehyde, ketone, halide, pseudohalide, isocyanate, amine, boronate and alcohol functional group is reacted with a complementary functionality on the ligand to form a covalent linkage. Such complementary functionality is well known in the art as illustrated in the following table:

Med. Chem. 28: 381 (1985)), patch clamp method (see, generally, Neher and Sakmann, “The Patch Clamp Technique,” Scientific American pp. 44-51 (1992); Hamill et al, Pfügers Arch. 391: 85 (1981); intact isolated nerve assay, e.g., isolated frog sciatic nerve (see Example 13 described below); blockage of the cutaneous trunci muscle reflex (CTMR) in guinea pigs (Bulbring et al, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Therap. 85: 78-84 (1945); Blight et al, J. Compar. Neurology 296: 614-633 (1990); Choi et al, Life Sci. 61: PL177-84 (1997)). Evaluation of motor and sympathetic function during sciatic nerve block is described, e.g., in Grant et al, Anesth. Analg. 75: 889-94 (1992), and Thalhammer et al., Anesthesiology 82: 1013-25 (1995).
- The multi-binding compounds prepared as described above were screened for Na+ ion channel binding and functional activities as exemplified in Examples 11-13 below.
- The anticonvulsant drugs are used for the treatment of all types of seizures, including epilepsy. As noted previously, this class of drugs includes, for example, diphenyl hydantoin (Dilantin), and other related ligands with binding affinity for the sodium channel comparable to that of Dilantin.
- The preparation of multi-binding anticonvulsant compounds of this invention makes use of ligands such as the 5-pentyl-5-phenyl hydantoin shown in FIG. 5 (3). Positions that are potentially available for attachment of a linker include either of the imide nitrogens (i.e., (a) or (b)) and positions on the pentyl chain, as indicated by the arrows.
- The preparation of a bivalent phenyl hydantoin compound is shown, for example, in Reaction Scheme 18 (Appendix). The starting material, an aliphatic hydroxyketone derivative of phenyl hydantoin, can be prepared by the Bucherer-Berg procedure from the appropriate ketones (see Brown et al,J. Med. Chem. 40: 602-607 (1997)). Standard well-known peptide coupling conditions are then used to attach the ligands to an appropriate diamine linker, as shown.
- Compounds of higher-order valency can be prepared by judicious choice of linkers and by appropriately varying the concentrations of the ligands and reagents.
- Anticonvulsant activity is screened in rodents using the maximal electroshock (MES) test and the subcutaneous pentylenetetrazol (scMET) test ( see, e.g., Flaherty et al,J. Med. Chem. 39: 1509-1513 (1996)). Sodium channel binding is performed by the BTX displacement assay as described above for local anesthetics.
- Included among compounds of Formula I are compounds comprising ligands that either activate or inhibit potassium ion channels. Not surprisingly, these ligands are used for a variety of clinical conditions, for example: channel blocking ligands such as glipizide, glyburide and tolazamide are used for the treatment of diabetes; diazoxide and minoxidil are used as antihypertensive drugs; and amiodarone, clofilium, dofetilide and N-acetylprocainamide are used as antiarrythmic drugs. Ligands that open potassium channels include levcromakalin, pinacidil, nicorandil, aprikalim, and diazoxide. The channel openers act on ATP-gated potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle and decreate vascular tone. They are potentially useful as cardioprotective agents.
- The anti-arrhythmic potassium channel blockers of this invention are exemplified by amiodarone. Amiodarone is classified as a Class III anti-arrhythmic drug (i.e., a drug that prolongs the cardiac action potential duration).
- Amiodarone is an iodine-containing benzofuran derivative that is used in the treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias that are unresponsive to other types of anti-arrhythmic drugs. Amiodarone and analogs thereof can be used to prepare multi-binding anti-arrhythmic compounds of Formula I. The structure of amiodarone is given in FIG. 5 (1). Positions that are potentially available for attachment of a linker based on published SAR are indicated by the arrows.
- The preparation of a bivalent amiodarone compound is shown, for example, in Reaction Scheme 19 (Appendix). The reactions can be performed using conventional procedures known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- Compounds of higher-order valency can be prepared by judicious choice of linkers and by appropriately varying the concentrations of the ligands and reagents.
- The activity of anti-arrhythmic potassium channel blockers of this invention is assessed by measuring potassium currents in cardiac myocytes using the patch clamp technique (see, e.g., Kamp et al,PflüArch. 391: 85 (1981)). In vivo anti-arrhythmic activity is measured by testing the ability of compounds to suppress symptoms in dogs with subacute myocardial infarctions or induced ventricular arrhythmia as described by Abdollah et al, J. Cardiovasc. Pharm. 15: 799 (1990)).
- Included in the compounds of Formula I are compounds comprising ligands that inhibit calcium ion channels. These ligands are used for the treatment of various cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension (e.g., amlodipine, diltiazem, flodipine, isradipine, nifedipine, nicardipine, verapamil), arrhythmias (e.g., diltiazem, bepridil, verapamil), and angina (e.g., amlodipine, diltiazem, felodipine, nifedipine, verapamil).
- At least two types of cardiac calcium channels have been identified, the L type (found in all cardiac tissues) and the T type (found in pacemaker tissues) (Pelzer et al,Rev. Physiol. Biochem. Pharmacol. 114: 107 (1990)). The α1 subunits of L- and non-L type calcium channels are structurally homologous. Calcium channels are found also in vascular smooth muscle, adrenal chromaffin cells, other endocrine cells and the brain. These factors may contribute to the undesirable side effects of currently used calcium channel blockers (e.g., hypotension and arrhythmia). Thus there is a continuing clinical need for safer, more selective calcium channel blocking compounds.
-
- This drug is classified as a dihydropyridine-based calcium channel blocker. Amlodipine is dihydropyridine calcium antagonist with an 2-methoxyalkylamine group, which provides for its prolonged anti-hypertensive activity (Arrowsmith et al,J. Med. Chem. 29: 1696 (1986)).
- FIG. 5 (2) shows amlodipine with arrows pointing to positions that are potentially available for attachment of a linker.
- The preparation of a bivalent amlodipine compound is shown, for example, in Reaction Scheme 20 (Appendix). The reactions can be performed using conventional procedures known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- Compounds of higher-order valency can be prepared by judicious choice of linkers and by appropriately varying the concentrations of the ligands and reagents.
- The activity of anti-arrhythmic calcium channel blockers of this invention is determined by assaying their vasorelaxant and antihypertensive properties. The concentration of a compound required to produce 50% vasorelaxation in KCl-contracted rabbit thoracic aorta strips in the presence of calcium is measured (Brittain et al,Physiologist 28: 325 (1985)). Anti-hypertensive activity is determined in male spontaneously hypertensive rats by measurement of mean arterial blood pressure (Rovnyak et al, J. Med. Chem. 35: 3254-3263 (1992)).
- Isolation and purification of the compounds and intermediates described herein can be effected, if desired, by any suitable separation or purification such as, for example, filtration, extraction, crystallization, column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, thick-layer chromatography, preparative low or high-pressure liquid chromatography or a combination of these procedures. Specific illustrations of suitable separation and isolation procedures can be had by reference to the Examples herein below. However, other equivalent separation or isolation procedures could, of course, also be used.
- When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of formula I are usually administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These compounds can be administered by a variety of routes including oral, rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, and intranasal. These compounds are effective as both injectable and oral compositions. Such compositions are prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art and comprise at least one active compound.
- This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds of formula I above associated with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In making the compositions of this invention, the active ingredient is usually mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier which can be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.
- In preparing a formulation, it may be necessary to mill the active compound to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it ordinarily is milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size is normally adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. about 40 mesh. Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, sterile water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.
- The compositions are preferably formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 5 to about 100 mg, more usually about 10 to about 30 mg, of the active ingredient. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient. Preferably, the compound of formula I above is employed at no more than about 20 weight percent of the pharmaceutical composition, more preferably no more than about 15 weight percent, with the balance being pharmaceutically inert carrier(s).
- The active compound is effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. It, will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered and its relative activity, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.
- For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention.
- The tablets or pills of the present invention may be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
- The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as corn oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. Preferably the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect.
- Compositions in preferably pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be inhaled directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device may be attached to a face mask tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered, preferably orally or nasally, from devices which deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.

- Another preferred formulation employed in the methods of the present invention employs transdermal delivery devices (“patches”). Such transdermal patches may be used to provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the compounds of the present invention in controlled amounts. The construction and use of transdermal patches for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents is well known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,023,252, issued Jun. 11, 1991, herein incorporated by reference. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents.
- Frequently, it will be desirable or necessary to introduce the pharmaceutical composition to the brain, either directly or indirectly. Direct techniques usually involve placement of a drug delivery catheter into the host's ventricular system to bypass the blood-brain barrier. One such implantable delivery system used for the transport of biological factors to specific anatomical regions of the body is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,011,472 which is herein incorporated by reference.
- Indirect techniques, which are generally preferred, usually involve formulating the compositions to provide for drug latentiation by the conversion of hydrophilic drugs into lipid-soluble drugs. Latentiation is generally achieved through blocking of the hydroxy, carbonyl, sulfate, and primary amine groups present on the drug to render the drug more lipid soluble and amenable to transportation across the blood-brain barrier. Alternatively, the delivery of hydrophilic drugs may be enhanced by intra-arterial infusion of hypertonic solutions which can transiently open the blood-brain barrier.

Ten brains were thawed and the cerebral cortex harvested (cerebellum removed). Approximately 4 to 5 g of cortex were placed in 30 ml of 0.32 M sucrose at 020 C. and homogenized in a Teflon/glass homogenizer (clearance approx. 0.15-0.23 mm, 12 up and down strokes at less than 800 rpm) while the mortar of the homogenizer was kept in an ice/water bath. The crude homogenates were pooled and distributed as 20 ml aliquots into polycarbonate centrifuge bottles. These were centrifuged at 5,100 rpm (ω2t setting 1.57×108 rad2/sec) in a 50.2 Ti rotor for approximately 9 min at 420 C. in a Beckman L8-80M ultracentrifuge. The pellet (P1) was discarded.

Supernatant (4 ml) was removed from the gradient interface and mixed with 10 ml of 0.32 M sucrose at 0° C. The pellet (P2) and other material was discarded. The diluted interface was layered onto 8 ml of 0.8M sucrose and spun at 50,000 rpm (ω2t setting 1.6×1010 rad2/sec) for approximately 10 min in a 50.2 Ti rotor at 4° C. The supernatant was discarded, and the pellets (P3) were pooled and resuspended by homogenization at 0° C. with a Wheaton glass homogenizer B type (clearance approx. 0.15-0.23 mm, 12 up and down strokes) in 15 ml synaptosomal storage buffer (130 mM choline Cl, 5.5 mM glucose, 5.4 mM KCl, 0.8 mM MgSO4), 4.50 mM HEPES, pH adjusted to 7.4 with Tris Base (approx. 22 mM)). The homogenized solution was spun at 50,000 rpm (ω2t setting 1.6×1010 rad2/sec) for approximately 10 min in a 50.2 Ti rotor at 4° C. The supernatant was discarded, and the pellet (P4) was resuspended in 8 ml synaptosomal storage buffer by homogenization (as in the previous step) at 0° C. The synaptosomes were “snap frozen” in 500 μl aliquots on ethanol/dry ice and stored at −80° C. Total protein concentration was measured after solubilizing membranes in 1.2% (wt/vol) SDS by Lowry's method.
- Incubations were carried out in a total volume of 250 μl containing synaptosomes at a final concentration of 0.8 μg total protein/μl 50 nM3H-BTX-13 (50 Ci/mmol), 1 μM tetrodotoxin, 120 μg/ml Leiurus quinquestriatus venom, in synaptosome storage buffer (see above). Test compound was added at various concentrations, typically from 1 to 100 μg/ml. Systems were incubated for 30 to 45 min at 37° C., after which time incubation was terminated by dilution of the reaction mixture with 250 μl of wash buffer (163 mM choline Cl, 5 mM HEPES, 1.8 mM CaCl2 and 0.8 mM MgSO4, pH to 7.4 with Tris base) at 0° C., and solutions were filtered through a Millipore GFC 96 well filter plate. Filtration was accomplished by vacuum filtration through a Millipore 96 well vacuum manifold. Each filter plate was washed three times with wash buffer at 0° C. (250 μl/wash). Filter and filtrate were counted in 25 μl of OptiPhase Supermix (Wallac) on a Wallac scintillation counter (model 1450 Microbeta). Nonspecific binding was determined by parallel experiments in the presence of 300 μM veratridine.
- The whole cell variant of the patch-clamp method (Hamill et al.,Pflügers Arch. 391:85-100, 1981) was used to measure Na+ currents in GH3 cells. The external solution contained (in mmol) 150 choline Cl, 0.2 CdCl2, 2 CaCl2, and 10 hydroxethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic acid (HEPES) adjusted to pH 7.4 with tetramethyl hydroxide. Micropipettes were fabricated and had a tip resistance of ˜1 Mω when filled with an Na+ solution containing (in mmol) 100 NaF, 30 NaCl, 10 EGTA (ethylene glycol-bis(β-aminoethyl ether)- N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid), and 10 hydroxyethyl- piperazineethane sulfonic acid, adjusted to pH 7.2 with CsOH.
- The junction potential of electrodes was nulled before seal formation. After the rupture of the patch membrane, the cell was allowed to equilibrate with the pipette solution for at least 15 min at the holding potential of −100 mV. Under these reversed Na+ gradient conditions, outward Na+ currents were activated at approximately −30 mV.
- Test compounds, at appropriate concentrations, were applied to cells with a flow rate of about 0.12 ml/min via a series of narrow-bored capillary tubes positioned within 200 μm of the cell. Typically, the more soluble salt form, rather than the free base, was used. Washout of drugs was performed via a tube containing the external solution without drug present. Voltage-clamp protocols were created with pClamp software (Axon Instruments, Inc., Foster City, Calif.). Leak and capacitance were subtracted by a leak and capacity compensator (Hille and Campbell,J. Gen. Physiol. 67:265-93, 1976). Additional compensation was achieved by the patch clamp device (EPC7, List-Electronic, Darmstadt/Eberstadt, Germany). All experiments were performed at room temperature. At the end of the experiments, the drift in the junction potential was generally <2 mV.
- Large bullfrogs (Rana catesbiana) measuring approximately 5 inches (obtained from Amphibians of North America Co.) were used in the experiments. The sciatic nerves were dissected from rapidly decapitated and pithed animals and maintained in a N-morpholinopropane sulfonate (MOPS)-Ringer's solution. Nerves were stored for up to 2 days at 4° C.
- The MOPS-Ringer's solution contained, in mmol, 110 NaCl, 2.5 KCl, 2.0 CaCl2, 4.0 glucose and 5.0 MOPS buffer. The solution pH was adjusted to 7.2-7.3 using 1 N NaOH. This normal Ringer's solution was used for storing nerves and for the filling of the two stimulating pools (50 μl each) and the recording “intracellular” pool. The solution used for the “test” pool (to begin recording with and for the drug solutions) contained 10 mM tetraethylammonium chloride added to the normal Ringer's solution.
- The compounds to be tested for local anesthetic activity were prepared as 1 mM stock solutions in double-deionized water. The solutions were stored at −20° C. to minimize loss of potency from frequent defrosting. The working solutions were prepared by diluting stock solution in TEA-Ringer's immediately prior to their use in an experiment.
- Segments of nerve measuring 32-35 mm (tibial or peroneal branch) were desheathed and mounted in a polycarbonate sucrose-gap chamber. In the chamber, nerves were laid across a series of pools and within a cylindrical gap with the proximal nerve end in the “test” pool. The isotonic sucrose (180 mM in double-deionized water) was perfused through a hollow gap. A petroleum jelly (Vaseline, Cheeseborough Pons) was used to create water-tight seals surrounding regions of the nerve passing between adjacent aqueous pools.
- The proximal end of the nerve was stimulated by a pair of bipolar Ag/AgCl electrodes inserted into the stimulating pools. The “test” pool (500 μl volume) contained the Ag/AgCl electrode that recorded the extracellular electrical potential. Flowing at 1.5 ml/min, the nonionic sucrose solution prevented the action potential from propagating beyond the test pool. The intracellular potential conducted passively through the sucrose gap to the distal end of the preparation was recorded by a Ag/AgCl (“intracellular”) electrode in Ringer's containing pool.
- Using a Grass S48 Stimulator (Grass Instruments, Quincy, Mass.), nerves were stimulated for 50 μsec at three times the intensity required to induce the maximal compound action potential (CAP) (3-4 V). Stimuli were supplied by an isolated stimulation unit (model SIU5A, Grass Instruments, Quincy, Mass.). The electrical signal from the nerve, the compound action potential (CAP) from large myelinated fibers, was amplified 50 times using an amplifier model AK47LN (Metametrics, Cambridge, Mass.). The signal was displayed on a oscilloscope (model 1032AB, Ballantine Laboratories, Inc, Boonton, N.J.), from which it was photographed using Polaroid film for later analysis.
- A nerve preparation was considered acceptable if the CAP measured not less than 20 mV, and the experiment was carried out after CAP stabilizing in TEA-Ringer's (not changed more than 2 mV over a 10-20 min period).
- Nerves were stimulated at 0.4 Hz during the full experiment time to assess “tonic” block, and “phasic” block was measured by 20 Hz trains applied for 2-4 secs every 5-10 min in drug solutions as well as in the control TEA-Ringer's. As each train of stimuli was administered, the resulting CAPs were recorded. Before testing the drug solutions, the test pool was emptied and refilled 3 times with the same volume of the control TEA-Ringer's. The same procedure preceded the washing period. When washing out the preparation, the TEA-Ringer's was changed 3-4 times more. All data were recorded at room temperature.
